Sorted it..attacked the saddle clamp with the grinder and it just gave me enough wiggle room to move the saddle back a little and in combination with rotating the bars fotwsrd a little much happier with the riding position.

Thank you that means alot.

Thank you...just having a ride around my village tonight and need to lay the saddle back a little, so that's the next fix, but I am blown away by the ride...plans are already afoot to do a special inaugural ride😁

After alot of deliberation it was the right choice, A Humber Duplex fork with Bi-Plane crown

It has and that's what I wanted😁

I got a few snow rides in on the Moors😁

I would beg to differ😁

Thanks...Really pleased now it's finished and I really enjoyed the journey to get there. Felt at one with the guys in Marin.

Had a quick ride around the block...it's ace...the saddle is really comfy, the brakes surprisingly powerful. Will wait until after it's debut at the York Show before taking it out on the trails but I think the Reyt Pack may be back on😁

Quick update..axle tightened up so no wobble..an easy job but as I'm not familiar with Sturmey Archer hubs needed a bit of research ont'web😁

Todays job swapping out the brake shoes. Required a little fettling with an extra washer as there was a slight difference between the old and new. All fitted and working well, but thereis a bit of lateral wobble of the axle on the non brake side, just looking at the hub body and the axle below...

I'd say jumbo jims as the lack of drag would be good and grip is not too critical

I bet they are getting rare beasts now.

I'll be at the show if anybody wants all the above for £75 but you'll need to let me know in advance

Amen to that...well said:)
