It’s a fabulous story @pete_mcc @TreaderSteve I think there was an episode of Fake or Fortune that were investigating piece that was had come via School Prints

It’s built around a late 70’s Yamaha ca-610 amp, which sadly stopped working recently. That needs to be my next restoration project. Also a Thorens tl150 turntable, I think those are Roger’s compact audio speakers which we changed to a more meaty set of celestion Ditton 33s

Retro bike, ladderax etc, Marcel Breuer ‘Cesca’ chair and a bit more retro hifi- Lenco turntable, nad 3120 amp, marantz cd65ii and a modern DAC

I think the market for mid century furniture is holding up better than bikes. Although much like bikes looking at the price things are listed on EBay or elsewhere isn’t necessarily a a reflection of actual prices they sell for

I did get the little one her first piece of mid century furniture - this tiny chair- off eBay for not very much money around the time I bought her first second hand islabike. If nothing else she will inherit and nice bike, furniture and record collection. 😀

Nice bit of parquet flooring. We’ve got the same pattern in our living room. Was a mid century homage back when this photo was taken but now just mostly covered in Lego and kids toys 🤣 It turns out 1970’s leather sofa is quite robust despite kids jumping up and down off them thankfully.

Oh that is lovely. If it were closer……

Very nice. Love mid century Danish chairs and cats. Also a big fan of wall units such as Cadovius, ladderax etc. I can see a common link between my love of retro bikes and furniture

There was another low-end one on eBay that sold for just over a pound the other day

Couldn’t find a Dawes synthesis in my size locally but managed to find this crossroads which I’ve almost finished building up as a gravel rig.

This is lovely. Is it still available and if so would you consider posting to London?

Lovely. Looking for something exactly like this but 56cm to big for me sadly.

Looks stunning. Cat doesn’t look impressed by it though 😻

PM incoming

They are brilliant! I wouldn’t be parted from my set. Sorry

Thanks. It won’t be very fast with me on it but looking forward to riding this for fun instead of my gravel bike.

I never did get the BB out. I will take it to a workshop when it does finally go but the chainline works and it rides okay. The canti brakes were fiddly to set up but I fitted the headset myself with no problems (never done one before). Been for a quick test ride and it fits me well and handles...

It ended up being a bit of a British build where possible to compliment the Dawes frame/Pace forks. A few Hope parts, x-lite bars and a Brooks Cambium saddle which I know isn’t made in Britain but I like the look anyway.

There were a few changes of plans along the way. Plus life got in the way and I lost inspiration for a bit. I definitely spent a bit too much money on purple anodised bit but I do like the purple accents and it’s my favourite colour.
