Sorry about all the tech gubbins, none of it makes sense to me anyway but the bike builder included the info so thought it might be useful.

The Harris Tweed is dark grey and white Herringbone from the Shawbost Mill on the Isle of Lewis. There's a black n gold centenary Orb label on the seat to certify it's the real deal.

54cm frame, condition is pretty immaculate, any other Q' I'll find the answers for you...

To celebrate Glasgow's inaugural Harris Tweed Ride we commissioned a special build with Lee Muir of Re-cycle Cycles to be auctioned, with proceeds of the sale going to our chosen charity, the Linda Norgrove Foundation.

The resulting bike is a super-light (8kg) fixed gear with bespoke Harris Tweed finishes to the saddle, bar grips and toe straps.

All components are in excellent condition and the build is of extremely high quality.

This is a unique bike and we hope it finds a unique owner who will ride and appreciate her for years to come.

As it's a natural material just air the jacket regularly if it gets a bit pongy. You can cold hand wash it if need be, it just takes an age to dry (48 hours), lie it flat, strecth to shape and don't hang it.

Love it, c'est bon!
