Uncle James's new Aravis Super Tourer

[Auntie Helen]

Uncle James and I went today to collect his new Aravis Super Tourer bike which he'll use for cycle training, touring Germany with me and general usage. It's a do-anything bike (hopefully) with a lovely light steel frame, bought from Byercycles. A dynamo light is in the post on the way to us.

[TheDoctor]

Very nice!!
Byercycles is pretty much my LBS of choice - I got my 531 touring frame there, ooh, 19 years ago now. Must be due a repray soon

 

[Yellow Fang]

Nice, isn't he a fan of drops?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Not drops for cycle training - much easier to have flat bars.

TheDoctor, didn't know you prayed for your bikes regularly!

 

[Domestique]

Very nice AH
What make is that rack btw?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Tortec, apparently

 

[ChrisKH]

Good sturdy bike. Miles of fun on that one.

 

[Domestique]

Thanks.

Goes off to amend Xmass prezzie (I wish) list

Ermm, I meant respray.
I have been known to call upon the assistance of the Almighty while toiling up large hills. And also to curse Him when I impale my hand on a chainring.

Tortec, apparently

yes, looks just like the one on my Galaxy, nice and robust seeming (it's not really be properly loaded yet)

I got it here:

Good value I think! (also available in black)
