I saw a Spa Cycle outside the shops this morning looked good , on par with my Surly , complete 105 drive chain , and Shimano wheels , nice tourer ,

Ive been ogling their TI tourer for a while now, looks really nice
Just need to work out how to smuggle it into the garage without it being noticed.

Just remembered , I had some wheels made by Spa , Shimano hubs , I’ve not had a ride on them yet , but perfect for winter riding I’d say

My first experience with Spa Cycles many years ago:

Me (telephone): Hello I'd like to order a Shimano UN54 BB in size x.
Spa: What bike is it for? size?, your style of riding, etc?
Me: bike x, size x, yadda yadda.
Spa: Right, I'm going to send you a Stronglight JP400, just send us a cheque in the post.
Me: What? why? I asked for Shimano UN54.
Spa: They're ok, but what I'm going to send you is cheaper and better.

He weren't wrong I tell thee. That BB is still going 12 years later.

So, yes I concur. They're well thought out and keenly priced bikes.

I'm sorry to hear that Ozboz, it's a gorgeous bike. I remember it from a few years back.
