Looks nice Steve but as the others have said Get out and ride the bloomin thing, plenty time for polishing in the winter. ;D Get some miles on it, done over 1,600 on mine already and it was of the road the 1st week I had it. See you on the Scotland run. |

just noticed on picture 2
The chicken strips on the new Bridgeton BT021's are coming down nicely.
The old bus does like to get flung into croners at an alarming rate of knots.

Yes the frame on the bike is easilly up to the weight and power and lets you keep up with bikes a lot lighter and nimbler than you would expect. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

I've got chicken strips like that on my D9, but the footrests wont let me get them any narrower. The Contiforce tyres (£120 pair from M&P) seem to be doing well. I would like rims like that on my Divvie. Any chance of you popping over to South Wales? Thought not  Some say Divvies look better unpimped. |
