Found this complete road bike being chucked out in Highbury and rode it as it was for a bit before its old Heliomatic rear hub gave out completely and i rebuilt it s l o w l y as a fixed. got run over by a nice lady turning left into me. she crumpled the original Normandy front wheel, but gave me cash and arnica on the spot, inspiring a flurry of new (old) parts. i rebuilt the radially laced fulcrum 7 2-cross, with silver spokes (gives a nice five point star) :) the whole thing rides so beautifully! gradually getting upgraded into a classier beast
