I've had a hankering for a 2 wheeler for a while now, but not really wanted to go massive on the budget which kind of limited my choices. Roll back to late July and I spotted an Optima Lynx for sale on the BHPC forum, so made an offer on the basis I couldn't collect until today which was accepted.
Pictures from the ad, I'll add more as I get stuck in.
It has a Sturmey Archer 8 speed hub on the rear, with double chainrings up front. The R/D is for chain tension only.
Aside from the Brompton I've not had hub gears since my Raleigh Grifter, so be interesting to see how it goes. The bike is in excellent condition, looks not to have been ridden a great deal.
I declined a test ride today, no desire to embarrass myself! Will give it a once over when I get a day off work.
Can't wait to ride it, I do hope it was worth the 6 hours of driving.
