Spa cycles

Sabbath, very nice, a bit out of my price range though.

Got to swing the purchase by the wife first and after I've had an ear bashing for wanting yet another bike, I'll nip up for a look.

Another Spa Elan owner (double with 105 hydraulic brakes & their own handbuilt wheel upgrade). Definitely go for the Ti seatpost option - don't know if it does anything comfort wise, but it looks good

My Spa had a silver seatpost collar (not Ti) which looked good but was crap and led to slippage and nasty scratches on Ti seatpost. Replaced by Spa with a much better black collar and a new seatpost! Best to avoid the silver collar ime!!

I had spa build wheels on H Plus Son Hydra rims which are disk specific and very nice. I didn' have the Ti seatpost despite thier recommendations because I felt I had to draw the line somewhere!

I had handbuilts but Kinlin rims. The wheel builder there didn’t rate the H Sons when I discussed and I wasn’t keen on the look either

The elan is a great looking bike. I test rode one but ended up buying the Ti audax. Really enjoying riding it except not sure about the Tange headset.

Did that as well. Also Ti spacers on the stem (from Van Nicholas as they were on offer)
