Ok so i bought this bike some time ago and to cut a long story short... I only went to see a man about some Ti Ringle skewers! Ended up buying this beautiful machine but not taking it home because I'd recently taken redundancy at work with nothing on the horizon. Silly me really but i had to have it and off went to live with a friend until it was time to tell her indoors I'd gone and bought another bike! I had my first chance to ride yesterday and WOW what a sweet handling supremely fast well thought out and put together bike. I believe I'm only the 4th owner in nearly 20 years and that at least 2 prev are members here so thanks for keeping it so bloody nice guys.
Took a couple of pics but unfortunately they're not great qualityand really don't do the colour of the frame justice.
