Good morning,

Thanks that's the bike I have just put it back on my watch list.

Have you noticed the rear brake blocks, their position within the calipers and the wheel?

Bye

Ian

That's rather nice and it doesn't look as if you'll have to spend very much (if anything) on it. I like the colour scheme too.

I have to say (having seen it and nearly bought it) that Mr Biggs' Hardisty is a very nice bike too. I bought his Dawes instead and I'm very happy with it.

Plus this one, but a little more money.

Two nice tidy bikes but I feel overpriced in current market for what they are .

Thanks @Kempstonian

This is my Hardisty

Lugs are the bits that connect the tubes in simple terms but come in all designs . Worth looking online as some really nice ornate and hand cut ones .
