Nice Kilauea.

has a better looking bike ever been made? totally classic

Nice, bit 'o class...

cheers for the comments i am rather pleased with it!

with all the jobs around the house this weekend + daughter's 4th birthday I've not had a chance yet to get pedals on and cables sorted :? can't wait to get it on/off the road !!

sweet ride my friend

just sorted the cables and put on some SPD pedals and the Conti GPs, its fast as @!$% on the road

think i cut the front mech + rear brake cable too short though

anyway, in road mode it weighed in at 21.8lbs!

Bollocks! Just like the one I've just sold....
I was just stripping it down ready for posting, and thinkink what a cracker it would be with lighter kit on, especially wheels!
Already lightning fast just about anywhere, but just that teensy bit big for me. :roll:

Oops, sorry dude. :roll:

( I'm the git who bought it off him )
