I was happy and contented with N bikes until this evening.

I called into Woodrup's bike shop to buy a couple of spokes. Steve Woodrup asked me if I'd be interested in seeing his latest project and I was whisked upstairs into the inner sanctum where frame building takes place.

A completed but unpainted steel frame was held in a clamp and I spotted the S&S couplings and Rohlhoff (sp?) rear drop outs closely followed by a belt drive grafted onto a Shimano 105 spider. It was truly a thing of beauty - fillet brazed joints neatly fettled and immediately N+1 sprang to mind.

I've been promised a loan of the bike when it's finished and a good price (and fake low priced invoice

) on one should I find N+1 inevitable.

Then there was the 953 frame with false hand cut lugs on one of the jigs N+2 materialised in my mind.

The grand finale was a highly polished 953 frame waiting for collection and N+3 started to take shape.

Kerching that's the next five years bike budget spoken for - I just might have the funds for N+1 this year....but I really want to resist.

I've just spent the time between the original post and now mugging up on belt drive.....

Go on Vernon, you know you want to. There is something totally seductive about beautifully executed fillet brazed joints. When painted, they almost look monocoque. And they ride superbly.

It's called "spending our way out of recession" and as a grateful member of the Big Society I fully endorse this purchase.
