That must be one of the nicest bikes I have EVER seen, she must be a pleasure to shred down the trails!

Thanks Jako! Haven’t ridden her much as yet - 69km to be exact. Received it at a time when I was doing a little more road riding leading up to CTCT, then Covid-19 hit.

Crikey Pikey that's an awesome collection. Three of my favourite brands and not a Spaz in sight.

But they all have Spez saddles, which are the best. Beautiful bikes.

I also sit on a Spaz logo. It's part of my protest...

My thought process exactly.....

 

 

 

 

And it’s the only saddle I use ????

My 1983 Alan has been with me since new and has not been used very much lately. I decided to give her a good polish with the intention of selling her. She cleaned up really well and after a short ride she changed my mind. She is not for sale! Still so smooth and responsive and in my eyes a real Italian stunner.post-88491-0-50956700-1587493909_thumb.jpegpost-88491-0-93595100-1587498403_thumb.jpg
