Hi, i have been an admirer of the Strida since i saw one in a museum in Ipswich last year (a mk3 i believe)
Anyway, last weekend i visited Milton Keynes and in their museum was a Mk1…i was allowed a ride and was hooked. That evening i looked on ebay and bought an early Mk1 from Northern Ireland.
Today it arrived in Norfolk and it’s brilliant. It’s frame number 549 and i have messagered Mark Sanders who confirms it’s very early.
It’s in pretty good condition and its only going to need light restoration work, i am wanting to retain its originality
Hi Cavboy 80,
welcome at Stridaforum and good luck with your new old lady
Best wishes,
Chris
Thanks Chris, once i can figure out how to post up pictures i’ll do so.
Just click the “Img” button and insert your image link between the brackets as above.
I have also just become a Strida newbie and my early Strida 2, is in need of some basic TLC.
I’m doing all the simple basics (cleaning, brake cable adjustments, new tyres and lubrication on brake cables, pedals.)
I know the belt is not lubricated, but is there any guide to do and don’ts and any adjustments to keep the bike tip-top functional?
All the old documents are still here;

That should answer many of your questions - we are still here for the remaining
Thank you Blackstridaaustria
That will keep me busy, busy, busy
