You had that cat in your pannier didn't you? Look that's where he's heading back to.

Very nice indeed Tim, please let us know how you get on with it.

I'm considering either a Galaxy, Hewitt or Koga Miyata World Traveller for a 6 month Sth Asia tour.

Nice bike.

And to think, people take the piss out of Thorns for having all those spacers...

 

[just jim]

But these are Hewitt spacers FF!

 

[wafflycat]

Hewitts are lovely bikes. Cute cat too.

Hi John! Ok, it's got some spacers But, hey, it also came with a head tube.

 

[just jim]

But come on..seriously..is it seriously spacered up to the max, or is it spacered to an aesthetically tolerable level, like I think it is. In any case there's something slightly less agricultural looking about it, shirley?

This is a landmark post.
Anybody recall all those Thorn/Spacer posts... of course you don't get that with a Hewitts etc. Well here you go, if you buil;d bikes that really can be fitted well to a large number of body-shapes then a low head-tube and many spacers are required. Thing with both Hewitts and Thorn is that they both make bikes designed to fit people really well that are going to spend a lot of hours in the saddle.

Don't worry just jim, it's a fine machine, I'd like one myself. Thorns are great too. I hope this ends the great spacer debate!

 

[just jim]

Thanks FF, and for the record I'd like to apologise to every Thorn owner out there for any offense taken at any suggestion of inappropriate and/or flagrant use of spacers. I've learned my lesson. I'm sorry.
