So a year has passed so I thought an update would be in order. Smiles per mile, this bike is right up there, it really is a joy to ride. The bike is pretty versatile, there is not too much it cannot do - although I have not tried it in a chain gang yet, but i think that is more down to the engine than the bike.

I have only had to walk up part of one hill, but that was when loaded with camping gear at 84 gear inches. There is a little bit of rust on the chain tugs and bits of the cheaper parts I put on, but that is not too surprising.

Last night I loaded up after work, went for a ride, found some hand pulled Guinness, stayed a bit longer than I should have done and headed into the woods. The Holdsworth performed admirably both loaded on the road and on the forest paths. A night in a cheap small tent and then back to work this morning with a smile on my face. Normally I pannier up on the workhorse 90's MTB - but it was nice to travel lighter.

P.S. Yes, I know, the chain is a little slack.
