They have arrived at last..........

[Gerry Attrick]

The Attricks' new made -to-measure tourers have finally been collected from that supreme Guru of cycling, Dave Yates. Never have I ridden such a free-rolling and comfortable bike. The pictures show them as they arrived apart from chain stay protectors. The racks, luggage, computers and lights are on order. Bring on those French cycle routes.

Still awaiting luggage so not ridden fully loaded yet. A relatively modest trip is planned to Norfolk shortly to visit the many excellent pubs.....er I mean sights of that wonderful county. France next summer.

Very classy, I like the lettering probably the best I've seen and the paint looks lush.
One smal distraction - I'd have to change either the seatposts or the stems/spacers. I think they look so much better if they match, black or silver, just not both.

Good point. Mind you, I can only see the stem when riding

Very ... very nice! Dave has outdone himself. Good to see someone supporting local UK builders.

I don't see any rack braze-ons though. Am I missing something? What rims? Mavic? Panaracer tyres, no? What kind. Looks like the same mould as the Col de la Vie.

Congratulations GA! I hope you and Mrs. GA have many happy days of safe touring.

Look hard at the brake bridge.

 

[Gerry Attrick]

Look hard at the brake bridge.

Yep. Rack braze-ons are there. Panaracer Pasela TG tyres (32mm). Deore XT hubs, Deore chainset, front and rear mechs. Mavic rims.

Great stuff, Gerry. I'm sure these bikes will be just like a dose of Geritol!

This thread has occasioned the posing/posting of a question I've been mulling for some time.

Very nice looking bikes, Iv found tourers are my favourite design.
