So I know this thread will get a few haters...meh. I bought the frame off Allister who informed me it was previously used by Debbie Wharton and the kids at Herne Hill. Having hunted for a shorta**e frame for a while it seemed a perfect example. I've slowly built up a budget bike to get fit - eBay finds, Varno wheelset, System Ex etc.:
Due to the nature of my job there is no way I can commute, so I am purely using the bike to get fit. I've been riding it as you see it, but I am in the process of purchasing decent pedals, clips and straps, grips, and plan to get in touch with Armourtex soon (decals already created as Ai.)
This is my third bike since childhood...first was a Create - terrible, costly mistake, second was a Raleigh Pro Tour conversion - equally as bad, and finally what you see here. Pretty bad pedal overlap, but extremely smooth and responsive, and ultimately - helping me to keep fit!
