Congratulations.
Quick question was the bike ever out of your (out some one in the group) sight? If not don't both working about your home insurance.. It makes life much pleasanter and easier.
Well, none of us could see the bikes from the cafe.

Arrived home from work last night just before midnight, & as I've done a few times coming home late, thought nice night for a ride. So last night I decided 'Sod it' I'll go for a ride, so came in changed my work trousers & set off at midnight for a 7.5 mile ride around the block. Beautiful, pitch black on the country lanes & 30 mins riding with zero traffic. I'd certainly recommend it
A bit of a ride around the back lanes today. 32.3 miles taking in the Oakwood Clock, Canal Gardens, Shadwell up that really difficult hill, Wike, East Keswick and Linton. On to Wetherby and back home bouncing off Boston Spa ( turn right on the outskirts for Clifford ) Bramham, Thorner with the usual Red Hall Lane so I can WHEEEE !! down Boot Hill. Couple of pics to show for it, and the video.

I choose to take a close up of a rather pretty fork crown and it shows up the muck !! Ah well.
The colour is sort of accidental. When I went to order the bike I was told they had a ten week waiting list. But they had the model I wanted in the correct size for me in stock. I really wanted metallic orange with magenta lug lining . . . but did not want to wait ten weeks. So, ivory and black lining it is.
The name is all I could think of.
Lucky Man, i bet she made you pay for that in the long run.LolIt is an Ellis Briggs Randonneur 105. Made locally to me (14 miles away) in Shipley, West Yorkshire. The receipt says ivory, black lug lining. For the ten years before I retired I worked about three quarters of a mile away from the shop. Last May we walked by the shop, I looked in the window and saw two bikes fitted with mudguards, Barbs said 'Why don't you buy one?' So I did. Lucky me.
