Not Spa, I'm heading to Leeds to look at a Van Rysel - Decathlon's 'pro' brand as they have the only large size one left in the country. I'm at the very top end of medium or the very bottom end of large so really want to check the size before dropping a large sum of money.

It has features that would horrify many CycleChat members - it's not made of steel, you don't have to reach down to change gears and - even worse - the gears are operated by witchcraft

I may be visiting Spa Cycles later in the year just to buy some chainrings as I've a spare few hours in the area.

Ooh very nice and don't believe all that witchcraft because when the chain drops off the inner ring you will still have to manually put it back on 😁

I keep looking at a spa but it's a 4 hour return trip

I don't have to reach downto change gears on my steel bike, I use a twist grip for my Rohloff!
