Well, I have mentioned a few times about sorting out my old bike but always spending on the Five!

Thought the other day "sod it, gonna do it" and got a basic SS kit from ebay for £22.50 inc, 15T cog, spacers, and tensioner.

A few other things need a little attention on the bike to get it rolling again.

Namely, loose headset, possible creaking BB, knackered pedals, mediocre brakes and maybe tyres.
Got new brake shoes and ordered some 520 pedals.
Headset and BB will be fettled for now, probably just need greasing and adjusting anyway.

Sounds bad but this bike is still original from new (1995ish) and the only thing I have changed is a new inner tube after a flat, so pretty good going considering.

So hopefully the Purple Claud Butler will make an outing soon as a Canal Cruiser
