Happiness is a vintage bike

Ok, I know this is about fashion, but that being said, fashion doesn't stop at just clothing and in this case bicycles!!!!!! Or more to the point VINTAGE Bicycles!!!!!

So I spent three weeks trawling through the Internet, preloved, gum tree and ebay to finally find "caprice".

Ooooo she's pretty!!!!!

I managed to bag myself a little craker, she is an original 1979 Raliegh Caprice!!!!!! She is an adorable metallic lilac complete with white brake cables, grips and extra wide sprung vintage seat in white leather and white tyres, and I AM IN LOVE!!!!!!

I forgot how much fun riding a bike actually is, you instantly feel seven. The only thing that's missing from her is a lovely little wicker basket - which is on its way in the post now.

I have only had her a few weeks and already have done the entire length of the coastline (down south that is)  and I actually can't get enough!!! It's good for the body it's good the mind and therefor its good for soul........for the love of god......get yourself a bike!!!!!!!!
