Apparently the chaps who I bought it off let his 3 year old do the paint job. It looks pretty good and certainly uniquely identifies this bike. I love it but I need a folding bike so the full sized bikes need to go!

A lovely 'poo brown' langster which has been further customised by a previous owner with a rattle can. Lots of personality and I thought a theft deterrent. It's a great commuter.
It's a lovely light weight bike, great geometry.
Miche 'x-press' wheel set
Recently new tyres, brake cables and housings.

I bought the bike without knowing much about Foffa but wanting to try a gates drive. The belt drive is fantastically low maintenance and eerily silent when riding.
The NuVinci was also a first for me, a 'CVT' or Continuously Variable Planetary Transmission allows you to shift 'gears' whilst stopped but more interestingly allows the rider to almost infinitely 'tune' the gear ratio rather than having fixed ratios as per a typical derailleur set up where gears are selected and have fixed ratios.
Finally, the frameset is built by Foffa who went out of business but by all accounts built some very good steel frames.

Thanks, I had no idea-
I’ve not had any problems with this bike. It was a limited edition I think about 100 were made. I bought it to give a gates carbon drive a try- I’d certainly get a belt drive again.
Alas my full sized bikes have to go so I’m going to get a Brompton and stick it in the hallway.
