Test photos, me at 21 and 61 :-) 1983 and 2023

Morning. When you load the images, click on the little multiple window icon on each image…it then adds text that adds your full size photo.

Many thanks, works now :-)

You have aged well my good man :)

Why thank you, I have ridden a bicycle regularly from the age of 10 and it is now that I realise the true benefit of that decision, I am still the same weight too :-)

Just returned from a 30 mile ride to Great Torrington in North Devon, there is a super cafe that I stop at for a breakfast....lovely :-)

You are looking good! No carbon fiber for you?

The only difference I can discern is it looks like you carried a lot more "stuff" around when you were 21! : )

We should all be so lucky. Congratulations.

Dude:

there are two people that I would like to have met.

1) you at 21 and
2) you now

You “both” seem like great folks.

No I have bought fancy expensive bikes but overall they dont offer me anything more or give me any more enjoyment, so I stick with older tech bicycles, another advantage is that if you are far away from home on a traditional touring bike, you can always get the parts you need, I just picked this beauty up for £150, its a Dawes Super galaxy Reynolds 531 double butted steel tubing, no matter what has come after, I still think its hard to beat :-)
