The very nice rear racking touring bag as seen in the photos. Very versatile and it holds a lot more than you'd think as it can be extended upwards.

Rear light. Multiple functions.

Rear rack bag cover. (Photo).

Used pair of Schwalbe Marathon 700 x 32c touring tyres and 2 x inner tubes.

The frame has been touched up in several places but it's been done quite well. I don't know if it's the colour but they just will not photograph.

It's a lovely smooth, fast, responsive and well planted bike.

Everything works as it should.

Safe distancing collection preferred from the GL2 area of Gloucestershire.

Payment by cash on collection or bank transfer.

Asking £650 but I am open to sensible offers.

So, I've been asked about size.

Um. I would say 5'6" - 5' 8" tall.

As you see it in the pictures, it's set up for someone in between.

Hope this helps any prospective purchaser.

With regards to how it rides:

Pretty much like a Thorn but smoother and it's much nicer looking.

 

[TTSS]

I'm keeping it. I'll never get anything anywhere near as nice as this.

 

[TTSS]

Well my knee injury has flared up again so like the yo yo this has become, it's back up for sale.

 

[TTSS]

I am prepared to courier the bike but it will be based around my work commitments.

Courier to standard UK post codes will be an additional £40 and it will require re-assembly as the mudguards will also be removed.

Thanks very much.

Regrettable sale but I know I won't get to use it so I'd rather it went to someone that will put some miles on it.
