Well.............
I think the Balance (that manitou susser thing) was just too small, 17"
I think thats what put my back out  :roll: 
I am just back in from a modest 13mile bimble up The woods, out to the airport along the river Almond, and back along woods and the edinburgh cycle network.
NAE ACHES !!!! :shock:  :shock:  
  
  
  
 
Loving the Beast so thats staying!  
 
Just need some decent Retro tyres and a slightly shorter/taller stem,
other than that I'm truly in love with it.
Oh and the two of you are almost right, I hit the young lass at £120  
 
Shoulda/coulda got it for a ton , but she was needing the money  
 
Just as well that bit of my brain that makes you feel guilty/sympathetic was removed when I started in the motor trade  
 
Thats me had 3 months off now, getting bored so think I might start looking for a job  :roll: 
Gc
