I have been asked to babysit a demo bike for a litle while so am currently enjoying one of these babies.I'm gonna get in trouble I think
Right, we need a YACF competition to devise a paint scheme for Moulonaught's bike. I suggest red and black stripes, Dennis the Menace style.

What frame size are you?One of our mechanics has either a Superfly like the one I am demoing or a Stache in the green anodized gubbings stylee that he may be trying to sell.........
Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Nothing fancy, but it suits me. Basically a Trek 7.1FX with seatpost and cranks from an old Cannondale tourer. Bars are SJS Northrounder with Ergonish grips from Lidl. Front bag is a modified waist pack, hung from a couple of bar ends. Hub motor to help up the hills, with the battery in the Cadet saddlebag. Worst ever range 36 miles, best 100 on just over half charge.

Paul Metcalfe was indeed right, the black tyres were no match for the previous gumwalls (always make me think of my dad's dentures) AND NOW the bar tape coordinates with the tyres RRA-Mustard-Zip-Roll by obswerve, on Flickr
Hmm. It's still a whole bundle of loveliness, but I think the skinwall tyres fit better with the look. YMMV, and it's your bike.
