It’s A Long Story

Few years back I had a Marin mountain bike which I loved, comfortable to ride, chunky frame and I used it. It was then stolen from the back garden by a student I suspect and the insurance company replaced it with a Giant hybrid bike which I never got on with or really liked.
So it sat in the back garden and deteriorated, until today that is. New chain, gearing and brakes freed up and soaked in penetrating oil I got it going and set off down the back lane.
Sitting on the saddle it feels as though it’s made of wood, hard on the bum, but it’s working. New saddle, new brake blocks and we will be mobile.
