REDUCED: Vintage / retro Road Bike - Sun Solo 1974 - £60 ono

Giving up on my restoration project! 😄  And clearing out the back garden/where the shed was.

This is a Sun Solo from, i believe 1974, that I rescued from a friend of a friend's garden about 8 years ago.  It's got new tyres (Schwalbe Marathons, puncture proof) and tubes and has been fully serviced a couple of times.  Stored outside under a tarp the last 2-3 years, so some rust spotting, but frame is generally solid as far as I can tell.  Seat is pretty done, but I have a brown leather one (a Selle italia knock-off style one) that I'll throw in if I can find it, since it was intended for this anyway.  

Rides fairly well, but do not expect modern bike stopping power from these old caliper brakes! I've done a few hundred miles on this bike in the time that i've had it, it's been quite dependable.   Should go to a home where it can get more love though.

    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
    • My initial thought was whether they would keep the East Dulwich Road site given how close they are - but then they've only just re-done it so I assume will be planning to run both.
