Friend of mine had one for a couple years no issues with it . He traded it in 3 months ago for a Amflow. He didn't go out in the rain though.

Is he called Simon by any chance?

Yup, used to work with him around 15 years ago. Still occasionally keep in touch. Just spoke to him earlier this week to arrange a ride at Kirkhill once it dries up a bit.

Before he went to Dubai. I knew of Richard, used to have a bike shop of sorts? Or basically a way of getting trade price stuff for him and his mates from what I could gather

Small world indeed. Good to know he's still on the go.

I'm looking forward to getting out with Simon. It's been years!

Another sad loss, Saddleback have gone into administration. They distributed Pivot & Cannondale in the UK. Buyer beware but there are some hefty discounts on their website right now.

Edit - looks like everyone has been made redundant, probably best to avoid. Soz.

Not too mucky considering it hasn't been opened till yesterday . On its way to motor graveyard 2214 miles . Managed to round off the crank allen bolt so hopefully dealer gets it off and just that wee bit can be replaced and not a whole praxis crank required.
