BUT after going nuts for a few days, BUILD IT I did, and RIDE it I did, many, many miles, WHAT A JOY to RIDE! as many of you at the 2006 LeCirque will attest, not only did it win the BEST BRIT Bike, it went like the clappers on the rides. What are these fine machines for? why did they build them? What a waste to let them sit un attended, Have fun Eddie, Wanna race? Cheers. John Crump OldridingmyarseoffBrit, Parker, Co USA
