Is this from the Bandits of Bridgwater?

Or are you collecting from Ilkley ? Initial ride UP Cow & Calf Hill ? Lunch at pub half way up.

I can answer that. It's not. It doesn't have a Rohloff hub either.

Well, have a lovely time in Yorkshire and if you are anywhere near Menston, which Ilkley is, wave to Mrs. Wow's Auntie Nora and Uncle Eric.

Tandemtandemtandem!!!

If it's dry, we're going forra spin in Richmond Park tonight. Proper pictures will be taken.

Until then...

_{(I've only just noticed that they've missed a dot. It's okay - we have more of the decals and I'll sort it out later...)}

andygates · « **Reply #21 on:** 27 May, 2008, 10:44:11 am »

Ooh, isn't it clean!

Charlotte · « **Reply #22 on:** 27 May, 2008, 10:46:30 am »

Mmmm - were it not for the fact that Liz's parents ruthlessly curried us last night, I'd have been tempted to eat my dinner off that plate-sized disc

I am sure a full technical spec will follow but what rear disc brake did you go for?

Charlotte · « **Reply #24 on:** 27 May, 2008, 10:54:38 am »

I can't remember. Big.

Yanking on the lever's like lobbing a full sized anvil off the back, attached to the stoker's seatpost with a length of mooring chain
