Went to London to have a look at the red Mixte the bike was nice to ride but too short in distance from saddle to handle bars plus the photo has gone through photoshop as it was no where near a nice in real life.
Buy learn't a bit more?

Mighty short stem on the Longstaff but really tall standover, was this set up for a grasshopper?

Standover height doesn't seem that much, and its only a 22 1/2" frame as well. Agree the stem is short, but the bike itself isn't very large.

Bargain Cougar in Craigavon -£100 BIN or £50 start.

tidy George Longstaff in Belper.

I've owned two Longstaff's, both tricycles. Some of the cleanest crisp brazing/lugs I've seen.

Seems worth it for the parts alone?
