Is it red though?
Midnight blue with black forks. It looks not unlike this.
The sign is not an integral part of it, obviously!
Is it red though?
Leave my beardy bike alone!And the jokes about beards and sandals are just unimaginative, repetitive, and boring.
Midway between a road bike and a full-on tourer? I've just bought a Thorn Audax and I'm very happy with it. It's heavier and comfier than my road bike, with mtb-style low gears - and because I know I'll never go touring carrying everything but the kitchen sink I didn't want/need a full tourer. I wanted it for a bit of touring, where I travel light, and I do FNRs and occasional audaxes on either one, audax bike or road bike.
As I understand it the main differences are that the Audax is lighter than a full touring bike, though still a steel frame, a bit more sprightly but not as much as a road bike, will carry light-to-medium weights of luggage, and usually runs on narrower tyres than a touring bike. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will be along soon to take issue with some of that though.
They come with a stick on beard and size 10 sandals.
