No part 2?

Yes we always need bike update videos. Keep em coming 👊

Iam a old duffer like you and I ride a 99 Kona Hei Hei with disck brakes and a dropper seat post- Life changing!!! I put on wider bars and a 2005 Reba sl fork- Amazing. As you have stated nothing rides like a old 26er, I always come back to my bikes when the sun is shineing and my bones dont hurt as bad.

You should see what spots I found in this area! Nice to adventure off isn’t it! 😁

Impressive was the word that came to mind. Well done you. Take care. all the best.

What else do you need? A recumbent trike. Believe me. Cool video though 👍

I hope the new property will have a full man cave bike workshop 👍

I wish my commute was like yoursTom ! I didn’t see one car 🚗! Sounds like you are going to be busy so that retro Kona exsplosif build will have to wait 👍

I was wondering if it’s possible for someone to reach this goal for someone that has been running for 2 years?

Bar ends would be nice. I have the steel mojo. The mag21 works better w the long travel kit

Bella bella, saludos

Wow, well done mate.. Just ran Berlin and managed to pick up a huge PB (3:27) from running Chi last year. Also running Valencia in Dec, not sure I'll be ready to hit another PB but will try. Hoping for anything under 3:20.

As always , thanks for the post Tom , someitime it is just good to see a great quality run .. deffo does not always have to be pushing for the fastest pace , especially post 50. The love or the run or the love of executing a well planned race is just as sweet.

Excellent video Tom! Well done.

Enjoyed this video, I’ve had a 1992 Ravine since new and still love it. Just interested to know how tall you are to want a 17 inch frame?

Great job - you made it look easy!

Congrats!🎉🎉🎉

very well run 🙂

congratulations! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina

congratulation!

Well done Tom , you can concentrate on building your Kona Exsplosif now 😆👍

Delighted you had such a wonderful experience. You looked in complete control. Enjoy the celebrations & see you at the start line in Valencia 🏃‍♂️🥇

That looked amazing. Such a great way to run a big city marathon to actually enjoy the atmosphere. My big city marathon experience provided a good degree of PTSD 🤣. Thanks for filming your event👌

Good goals there Tom. We're in a similar place with forthcoming targets over 5k and 10k.

Some solid plans. Looks forward to following the progress 💪

Looking forward to seeing how you get on

7:17 it almost hit you in the butt lmao :D

Good video, thanks for sharing. The info on the Neo only doing approx 10mph was very interesting, I'd not heard that before. Now I have I'll swerve it for a little while to see if the later version improve or I'll just get something else. Good for running though!

Crikey sounds like you nearly didn’t make the Berlin marathon!!!!

The drone footage is great. Adds a different dynamic to videos. I got the HoverX which is similar. Stay safe out there!

What a beauty. I had a ruby red Apex in 93. My first mountain bike. Loved it. A summit or peak could be my next project to go with my 6 other retro bikes builds!😂

Cheers mate 👍👌, I just did the same this summer 🌞. On my Cube Nuroad Pro C:64 that came with the Fulcrum Red 900 and Swalbe One 40 mm. Changed to Fulcrum Wind 40 Carbon wheels, with Pirelli Race 28 and their TPU inner tubes as well.. Using GRX groupset and when changing the Wheels i did change the cassette from the 7000 serie to the 8000 for saving a bit of weight and leave the cassette for easy swapping if needed. I'm very happy with the result and did save 1,3 kg on the overall bike weight, not bad at all and really makes a difference on the feel of the bike 🚲 especially on climbing.. Nice video btw 😊 stay safe and have a good one 🌞👌👏.. Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰..

Really enjoyed this video, all the best with your recovery. I’m somehow amazed at how minimal car traffic is on some UK roads.

Amazing how quickly the races come round and it feels like ground rush! Glad the calf is holding.

Now you need an Apex. That was the best colour of all of them 😊 Also a very usable bike

Good shout out to RetroBikes Forum! I am on there too and even though I am not a Raleigh fan, I do like that Peak model, it's a nice bike. I hope you'll enjoy riding yours, Tom!

Thanks for taking us along.

I've got this bike, bought it in 1994 in a bike shop in Falmouth, the guy told me he couldn't shift it because it was 'pink' so it was discounted from RRP. Anyway I've kept it all these years, lovely to ride, my brother came over from OZ and rode it all around Cornwall. I rode it regularly after I moved to Northamptonshire in 2000 but the last couple of years it was in the garage after a knee injury (not on the bike). Had it serviced again earlier this year and it runs like a dream, had the cables and jockey wheels replaced but the rest of the groupset is fine, I think I have been through one chain in its life, the frame is a little heavy by modern standards but bombproof. There is a little forest with lots of trails not far away and have really been putting it through its paces. Nice to see another one has stood the test of time.

Lmao SMH things u do for a bike I feel your pain

I personally don't go in for the retro bikes but I understand it , my Dad is a friend with a guy called Chris Chance back in the states and my dad has a very large collection of original retro fat chance and Yo Eddy bikes. so I do get it (I had a chance to ride on one of the original TI models back in 2011)

Amazing how different courses give slower or faster times. I’m sure you’ll bag a 42 min 10k soon✊

Well toughed out. We've never done the Norwich 10k but it sounds good.

How do you recover from tight or cramping calf’s? as I get this after 5k’s sometimes

That looks great mate. Sadly these days they will just rob it off you when you are riding it. Have you seen some of those clips of food delivery guys on bikes in London? They have to have eyes in the back of their head.

Hope the calf improves. Still a very decent run in the Big Half. The AF 1 is quite unstable I find. I have just tried the AF3 and it’s far better but still great pop and energy return. All the best in the Norwich 10k. 👊

Wow big marathon plans. Awesome to have these goals for motivation. Be careful you don’t lose too much weight! But it is free speed if you have excess👌

I do think you should follow the Jack Daniels the drink plan. That would be a good watch 😂😂

Delighted to see this super run Tom culmination of lots of hard work, best of luck for rest of year. Sub 20 is well achievable

Congratulations Tom. You're well capable of sub 20 💪

Well done, Tom. Dereham is a great race.
