cheers

why the change? More for fun to try out a new setup?
Hi @djb, no it's a different company (Avaghon from Bike4travel) and it's a steel frame. First time for me riding a steel bicycle. And the other one with the curved main frame tube had a Pinion P1.18 drive system. We are now back to using a Rohloff hub again. But, for the first time we have disc brakes.
Mine is even prettier (this one is Elmar's), but I haven't taken a photo of it yet.

The other bicycles were 'borrowed' and we had to return them to the company, that's the reason for the change.

Cheers!
