You do know the fork is on the wrong way round don't you?

they were designed like that.

Cy was advised by Brant Richards to put the fork disc mount there, IIRC, something to do with rotational force.

Front brake works fine, FYI. Unusual, but effective.

I have one of these (complete with wonky front brake) and love it - shame they stopped making them - GLWS

Still selling this?

Yup, though it does need a clean, apparently!

Let me know if you want more photos

Sure, why not! Just finding out if this size is right for the person that needs a bike. Not sure exactly what his height is.

Will suit 5’6 or 5’11, depending on preferred riding position. Will pm photos

Hello, this looks like a lovely bike! Maintained beautifully! Can my brother and I come and try it out? This would be for my bro who is 5ft 11 if you think it would work for him?

Hi, this is still available, despite multiple enquiries...

Yes, of course, what's your bro's inside leg?

Still waiting for someone to come and ride off on this, despite lots of interest.

Not forgetting those Mary bars - setup is perfect for Town or towpath riding

Do you have a dead-on direct side-on shot?

Could be interested, but the rake on the forks looks strangely steep (maybe barrel distortion on the lens?)

The fork is standard rake, the disc placing can make it look odd, but it isn’t.

Will get a side on pic sorted tomorrow

Can’t believe that I still have this bike! It’s a lovely ride, so I won’t complain if no one buys it, but I could still really do with some cash.....

I wonder why more manufacturers didn't adopt the 'disc caliper on drive-side leg' in order to mitigate the effects of disc-induced QR-secured hub slippage/wheel ejection.

I think it’s simply fashion, everyone is so used to it being on the other side, no manufacturer wants to deviate - apart from innovators like Brant and Cy

It’s taken a while, but here you go.
