Introduction Another reborn cyclist and am now in my fifties! Made my successful comeback to achieve a lifelong ambition of John O’Groats to Lands End in June 2011. This blog chronicles life after JOGLE, getting to grips with living outside the UK and cycling in general. I am passionate about steel frames, lugs and the frame building process.
Interests Admirer of fancy lugs and all things Reynolds (and Columbus) tubing! Real beauty created by English craftsmen. I have nothing against Taiwan per se it's just that I don't like the thought of one factory churning out these re-badged carbon fibre frames.
Favorite Movies Fall asleep after 10 minutes so don't really have one. Though on reflection, I think I managed to stay awake all the way through the Grinch!
Favorite Music I don't like music. Noisy distracting stuff. Though Barry White certainly had something going!
Favorite Books It's not about the stainless steel lugs by Lance Armstrong
