I think I might sell my Speedmachine
« on: 11 September, 2021, 09:23:06 pm »

Given the choice I would ride the trike instead, so it's just there as a backup bike if my fixed has a mechanical or I need to lug stuff about.  It seems poor treatment for a bike that could do much more for someone else.

Comes with a spare repaired tiller, spare burros bars, a selection of gear shifters and a big bag of chain (but not the pedals in the photo).

I think £500, viewing welcome but I can neither deliver nor can I be bothered to post it.

A little more:
It is basically a GT version of the bike, with front and rear suspension (air shock upgrade), hydraulic disk brakes (with pretty new pads), 3x9 Shimano speed (currently twist-shift, but I bought some trigger shifters that will go with the bike). It comes with a spare tiller and the option between the current setup and more race orientated Burrow's bars. Also has front dyno hub and I will include a front solidlight (upgraded) with the bike (cables permitting).

It's a decent bike, but I don't *love* it. 

Maybe I should experiment with Aero bars and get it resprayed, that might do it...
