Very Old and Well Used Leather Saddle (Brooks?)

Bicycle, Bike, Old, Well Used, Leather Saddle, Brooks,

Seen parked up near my home is this very old and well used saddle. It looks like a brooks make biit I couldn't tell as it had nmo marking from wear. If you think the saddle is old and well used, the bicycle it sits on is probably the same age. As with all things in Bulgaria, age doesn't matter as long as it works.

Early 1990s Giant T-Track MTB Renovated

1990s, Giant T-Track, MTB, Renovated, bike

A a favour for a friend who had this bike parked outside for 10 years unridden, I decided to renovate it and get him back on the road again. After stripping everything, degreasing, cleaning and regreasing and fitting new cables and other bits and pieces here is the finished project. This retro Giant T-Rack was made in the early 1990s over 25 years old, but looks like new after the work I put in.

My Boardman Comp Bicycle in Bulgaria

Boardman Comp, Bicycle, Bulgaria,,

Brought over to Bulgaria with in in 2017, my 2016 model Boardman Comp purchased from Halfords in Cricklewood London has served me well over the last 18 months. Built for Cyclocross racing it is ideal for Bulgaria roads with their potholes and rough terrain. I don't' think a road bike would last on these roads here from my experience.
