I'll buy the saddle if you want to sell it.

Congrats, the bike looks cool and I bet it rides like a dream.

thanks, had a quick ride up the road, and cannot believe how light the bike is, rides like a dream, but I need to get used to the gear changers, as the old Apollo had the twist gears on the handlebars, where as this has the flick touch gears, so need to get my head round them.

I hear you , i have a bikes with twist shift, shimano sora and sram apex so i usually take a few miles to remember what to push /twist.

Do you mean software or liveware?

I wish there were at least some consistency. I have two Brommies with SRAM & Sturmey Archer 3-speed twist shifts which twist anti-clockwise for a lower gear. And I have a Dutch town bike with Shimano 3-speed twist shift that twists clockwise for a lower gear. Which means I'm forever going the wrong way unless I stop and think about which way to twist.

You get to "know" with familiarity. I have windows on my shifters but don't use them at all now.
