That looks brilliant. Seriously tempted for the end of the month. I'm investigating further.

Do you want to borrow The Strat?

Not gonna go full tourettes cos I've just ridden the beast.

But my rear brake cable isn't long enough to go through the internal cable housing, so it looks very shite.
(Plus the fact I didn't cut the front brake cable short enough! ).

But one more cable and I'm there.

God, yes.

What an afternoon, not only did Aldi have Butterscotch Angel Delight, but my brake cable arrived super quickly.

The Strat is pretty much done and coming to a football stadium near you, but not when you think!











Now out for a celebratory Estrella ella ella with Jnr.

Flippin' awesome mate

But definitely needs a blue and white striped pannier bag for the rear rack, with an Albion logo on.

A totally self indulgent post....

...but currently sitting 16th out of 18k+ in the Velogames Giro league

Doubt the good run will last though

I have a Brighton 70's bag, would look perfect on the back . . . . . The bike looks superb Stat, what does it ride like?

It's not directional, although I agree it looks 'wrong'

I haven't lost the front end yet so can't be bothered to change it.

How's about Cav in the Giro?...
There's still plenty of life in the old dog yet!��.

If it were a Top Trumps card, obviously it would be THE card.
99's and 100's across the board with one Achilles heel:-

Handling - 1, rides like a dog!

Cheap MAG wheels may well be the downfall.
It might be my set up but I've done everything I can to help that.
Then of course it could just be me


I had a blast making it and it's ok for a Prom down the beach, to a cafe - which is exactly what I had in mind.
But it'll never be a:-

'oh shite all my other bikes have punctures, I'll just take The Strat'.

Kind of bike.


In the scenario - I'm driving or walking!!

And some.
He went so early too.


I meant to post this morning, but forgot.
Always a bit dodgy referencing GT results, in the moment, for fear of spoiling someone else's evening highlights.
