Anyone in Dundee fancy a well-specced high-racer?

Apart from the altena bike, the speedmachine is the only 2wheel dark
sider I have so far ridden without crashing.

The budget will not stretch to that though, nor will the wife's
patience.

Met him at Tesco's last year as I arrived on the SMGT and he came over
to say he had this 'bent he'd probably have to sell... It's /very/
nice, but having just signed away the spare money to have the back of
the kitchen rebuilt I can't justify it. Which is a damn shame!

In the unlikely event my lottery ticket scores 5+ numbers this evening
I'll be straight on the 'phone though. It's a lovely bit of kit.

Indeed. I thought the SpM was generally classified as a semi-lowracer.
Highracers seem to typically be 26/26 setups, and without such
conspicuous bends in the middle.

Bizarre. I thought it was taller than that! When I think "low" racer,
I'm thinking elbows on the floor.

Seat height is about 40 cm; monkeyman Larrington has no trouble reaching the

It was someone elses and I didn't want to dent it ..
Oh, you mean with the others, basically I didn't lay back enough and
the OSS and my knees were not compatible. So that was one hurricane
dropped, one grasshopper ...

Definitely think USS is a better way to go.

I submit that on or about 3 Aug 2005 07:19:22 -0700, the person known
to the court as "David Martin" <[email hidden]> made a
statement (<[email hidden]> in
Your Honour's bundle) to the following effect:

I guess it's one of those things some people just get and others take
a while to learn. The Stinger was pretty close to the first 'bent I
rode, I had no problem with it, or with a variety of higher bikes, or
indeed with the Baron.
