This bike is next to NEW, two allready touched up chips from Travelling to and from the NAHBS show and a little spin (less then 2 miles that is!)around the block by me 'cause it was just too tempting :wink:

It's a Singlespeed bike, but it might also be used with a Rohloff Speedhub (:D :idea: ) you then have to chance the Paragon slider dropouts and ad some aftermarket cableguides though.

that thing is stupidly attractive... I remember seeing it on Rodys blog...still want it...still cant afford it.
 
I let out a strange noise when i saw this bike, my spaniels are looking at me with their heads cocked to one side!

Stunning!!

Al, the dog worrier.
 
Thanx for the compliments guys, bit strange to see it go, sure it will go to a good home though. Please spread the word, not (m)any of these for sale in the world :D
cheers Roy
