Glad you're enjoying the bike.... mate.


Fark me I can't believe I said that.
yes, me old mucker. I think it looks identical to the BD Ti. It came in a box from China. It cost me £900 (including 17.5% VAT) so you can work out how much it would cost you now the £ has fallen again against the $. The price included richey WCS fork, richey wcs headset, richey wcs seat post, and fizik arione. RRP on these bits would easily come to £400 to £500. On top of that, they give a 15% cashback in the form of gift voucher that got me £135 worth of future purchase. All in all, it was too good an offer to pass up.

I can't say the faster ride today is the frame. I did have better wheels than previous. I deliberately rode the same route that I had done 3 times just prior to my cambridge century disaster. I hadn't ridden for 2 weekends due to torrential rain and yet today I was riding like a god. I even dropped a wheel sucking fred poseur nazi.
