Re:

Blimey you 2 could write a book

I actually prefer the quarterstaff

lol... can't beat a bit of off-topic threadjacking

Don't think I've heard, seen or otherwise been aware of the quarterstaff since a brief period of participation in roleplaying games like Warhammer and Dungeons and Dragons a couple of eons ago.

A primitive weapon for the poor, dependant on the size of the carrier they ranged from 6-9ft and were predominantly made from hardwood such as Oak, Ash,Hawthorn and even Yew

Known in my world as a Bo and made of Japanese Oak or red Oak.

 

[jackosbournesnr]

Known in Scotland as a "big fikkin stick", from which to deliver "the malky" to an opponent.

Finally got out on a ride with this today and I have to say I'm not disappointed it was quick up the hills (for me anyway ) and not overly stiff the forks gave very little vibration.

The weather was good and we managed to get 43miles in

Looks great. Honestly, it's a lovely build.

No further comment, especially around the colour of bar tape,cables or tyres.

The polished aluminium forks look "right".

Re:

Looks great, as do the surroundings.

Having seen this bike in the flesh, I can confirm it is lovely.

Still not as LOUD as MY Cougar, mind
