Hello all
I actually bought one of these bikes two months ago after walking down to the guy's little warehouse off of Leabridge Road and giving it a test ride. It's a quality bike, strong frame and light, excellent tyres for road and off road and just a pleasure to cruise around on. The only components that looked cheap were the pedals and seat - but the seats so comfortable I couldn't be arsed to change it. The pedals I have changed since this picture was taken;
I ride from Leyton down to Canary Wharf or Tower Hill most weekends and it's a breeze on the OSH, and the number of compliments the bike gets is amazing. I love my old Raleigh
but the OSH is fun to ride and great on a sunny day.
There's someone over where I work in Paddington who's also got one and has put on a rack and mudguards to real good effect (although kind of defeats the original concept), I'll try and get a pic this week and post it up here.
