So this is a picture of my current all purpose bike for getting around London, mainly to work and back, but given the current status of my Fuji it's become my only working bike at the moment.
The frame is a 1953 Humber "Streak" made from Reynolds 531. Nicely lugged and powdercoated in metallic purple. The original forks proved to flexible so I replaced these with a cheap set of steel forks off eBay. The wheels are currently mismatched and slightly hipster but hey, this bike see's hell and back on a daily basis!
I'm thinking of building up a set of retro style wheels and adding a riveted saddle in time for the Tweed Run on the 9th April.
