Must admit who ever chopped them didn't quite get it right.



Seeing as I can't get on to the drop's it hopefully won't be an issue.

I'm sure whoever cut them intended them to be the other way up - as they were when you received the bike. You must have seen this before?

Thats a very elegant chainset, makes you realise just how chunky alloy stuff can be .

We all know the easiest way for a lighter bike & rider combo is for the rider to go on a diet ................

Hitting the road on the Faggin later before it gets silly hot and humid (thats the worst part).

Really impressed by the way it rides and trundles along so effortlessly.

I like the words "trundle" and "effortlessly", They don't often figure in my vocabulary unfortunately.

Another 32 miles and a visit from the fairy .
