Beware GD has changed it quite a lot, I would argue not for better (aesthetically), although I believe he's improved the tilt locking capability which is a good thing, it's also quite a heavy beast.

Thanks for getting back to me and the offer... However having read Nick's review especially :- Would I ride it on the road? Not without a few further changes. I suspect that the disc rear wheels, which make a satisfying rumble on the race track, would make an annoying racket on any road less smooth than the world's finest fietspad. More importantly, there are only 8 gears, and with all that gubbins it is not a light machine, so hills would be a chore. It prefers flatlands. And it needs a second brake to be legal on UK roads. It sounds unsuitable for me as i live in a hilly area and only want to ride it on roads and paths and would never take it racing. Anyway good luck selling it , I suspect it is certainly interesting enough to appeal to someone. regards Paul Edited by stormbird - 09 February 2021 at 3:08pm |

No it doesn't: "If the highest part of the 'seating area' of a bicycle or tricycle cannot be raised above 635mm from the road surface, the minimum requirement falls to just one efficient braking system"

you live in a hilly area.....I live in North Wales and it goes up and down those hills just fine (there are only 8 gears, and with all that gubbins it is not a light machine, so hills would be a chore. It prefers flatlands.) ----. ok I fitted a wide ratio block but still ride the single front ring. now 9pd uprated the calliper to a TRP and not had any problems stopping. as Alan says totally legal with one break due to the low seat hight. (I suspect that the disc rear wheels, which make a satisfying rumble on the race track, would make an annoying racket on any road less smooth than the world's finest fLatspad) ---air shock fitted and it is a smooth as with the correct pressure. TBF NM report was right and as a race ride it rolls.... but most race bikes dot make road bikes. I get it is not for everyone. Its there if the right person wants it..... no hurry to sell |
