If money was no object, I would spend my money with a Saffa in the UK, Matthew Sowter (Saffron Frameworks)

 

This is the bike he built for Dan Craven

 

He's a Hubber. His shared his initial journey on here a few years ago, as he was about to leave for the UK.

Thats correct, I actually forgot about that, thanks for reminding me.

I did "loosely" enquire about a bike about a year ago...Rand/Pound conversion made my eyes water.

I’ve always liked this English bike.

I’d probably want it with a Di-hub internal gearing to have the option of gearing if needed, but not sure if it’s available with the single “dropout” mount.
