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...

I'll have words with Pikey as soon as this incarceration is over!

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.

Swore i would never get a electronic groupset. But after riding this beauty, i will never go back to mechanical again.
