... / ... , was this precious finding in France or U.S.A. ? Is there a possible "to sell thing" some place in Portugal ? 10 € ...
@themusette5894 2 күн бұрын
Hi, this is in France, if you visit France, check out any brocantes and fleamarkets. Most old bikes have tyres and innertubes that need replacing, so remember to bargain down the price. You might find similar in Portugal. My biggest regret is not buying a Joaquim Aghostino bike last year. That regret started my passion for old bikes.

Your ten euro bike has potential. You will be pleasantly surprised with its performance after you complete your maintenance protocols, sort out the pedals and install new tires. You may also want to consider a new saddle if needed. Take care and good luck.

The bike was made my Nordstar in the north of France, they had a big factory rolling out steel bikes for whoever wanted them. Supermarkets etc. The aim is to keep it running as is, except I'll need to replace the tyres and innertubes.

If you really want to ride it you'll need to disassemble it completely, clean, de-grease, and reassemble. I would also carefully inspect the frame for rust inside. You can probably get inexpensive pedals for the crank, like the kind for one piece cranks. You should be able to disassemble the original pedals and overhaul them. Most of the alloy parts can be cleaned up and polished. www.youtube.com/@RJTheBikeGuy
@themusette5894 Ай бұрын
Agreed. Basically, what I did was a 'first operation' was: Remove and degrease / clean the chain. Remove and service the bottom bracket. Disassemble the rear mech rollers and degrease and clean/grease/lubricate as appropriate. Adjust and regrease the wheel bearings. Next step is to ride the bike for a while and check exactly what needs extra work. The brakes and pedals feel OK, and have been lubricated. I'll need to replace the tyres as they are old and won't last much longer. Originally my intention to leave the rims and aluminium parts 'as is', but I've been cleaning and polishing in my spare moments 😉

Good thing is I feel or 'see' improvements almost weekly. But I really did enjoy this ride.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. I'm currently 65, but only weeks away from my next birthday. Max HR is probably just under 165 as I'm coming back from 3 months total inactivity. I'd hope to see it up to 170-172 later in the year (gone are the days of 190). Three months total rest due to a knee issue leaves me unfit in all senses, no muscle definition, and definitely overweight (Zwift weight up to date). That's like a triple penalty. But I'm getting back into it.

@@themusette5894 the reason I asked is I thought you were doing quite well for someone your age. I'm 60 and have just begun zwifting a week ago and am not happy at all with my level of fitness. I thought I had a decent baseline coming into this but I'm completely struggling. My ftp was initially measured at 149 and zwift upgraded it to 154 the other day. I guess I'm worse off than I thought, lol. I really enjoy zwift though and plan to continue with it. I've used it 7 straight days now and really love it. I just wish my ass didn't hurt so much though. 😆 Ride on!

Chapeau. I'm still figuring out whether I want to try my hand at racing in Zwift. Notwithstanding my concerns about my level of fitness and stamina at this stage of my life (60 years young, both hips are not original equipment), but aside from just pedaling harder than everyone else, I'm still learning what a good strategy would be. Good on you for reeling in that rider who was 25+ seconds out towards the end. Looks like your comrades chose to not help in that effort and then stole finishing positions from you at the line. Perhaps this was a deliberate trade that you made for not taking as many pulls initially? Or were you all communicating with one another discreetly? Regardless, you definitely have shown this not too tired yet retiree, the possibilities. Thank you.
@themusette5894 6 ай бұрын
Thanks, you could try Tour de Zwift route C. Although it's not billed as a race many (most) people treat it as such. You'll get lots of participants and slip into a group you can stay with. They usually work well together (since it's not an out and out race) and it's a great experience. I'm coming back from an enforced break and am very unfit and 65, it's not an issue I know lots of people over 60 who build up a very good level of fitness. Try the Tour de Zwift GROUP rides (some weekend ones are actual races)
@themusette5894 6 ай бұрын
Thanks, Not being fit, I couldn't contribute much, and I felt the other rider wanted to do all the work. I knew he would accept help at the end, so a smooth acceleration rather than a hard acceleration helps. There was no communication,, usually people understand what's going on.
