Been out in this a few times and it really is great. Gets a lot of interest as everyone thinks it must have suspension due to the e-stay frame shape
Due to another bike project bleeding money this is unfortunately now up for sale but needs must.
I have really enjoyed striping cleaning and rebuilding what appears to be fairly rare now.
