Sensible - I remember on my first run after getting the Dawes out of the shed after 20 years the left hand crank fell off! Thankfully I was only a mile or so from home, and the issue was just a loose crank bolt!

Looks a nice bike - but will we be able to see some larger pics? My eye sight is good, but not that good!

here is a better pic as promised , another days worth of commuter testing miles along with lights and gaurds fitting and adjustments now got all 12 gears and some braking effort more will arrive when postman delivers the Koolstops ordered today .
