PPC,
I see that photo of your steed and it looks like a Optima Condor. I am starting to plan a ride from here (Kuwait) to home (Scotland) and fancy doing it on a bent. This is after touring in company of an M5 years ago. Man that thing could corner.
Point of the story is the best bike seams to me to be the Optima Condor, under leg steering. Because.
1. it looks nice
2. Same size wheels so less tubes and tires to carry
3. under leg steering looks like a “proper bent” to me
4. racks etc all look ok
5. did I mention it looks nice
So what do you recon to them. Good, bad indifferent? Do you think there would be a better machine for the job.
All pointers gratefully received by this bent virgin.
Not a bent virgin rather a virgin to bents, no still sound iffy. Any way you know what I mean.
Cheers
