I went out shopping on the 'bent today, getting some bits for the Volvo from Kingsley at Shepherd's
Green, then over to the Oxford Road to get a manual from Halfwits and something from the Shop on
the Bridge. So, riding back down the Oxford Road I met up with a roadie on a nice bike with carbon
forks and such.
Roadie: "I've always fancied one of those" Self: "So have I - so I bought one!"
He professed himself impressed with the turn of speed - once he caught up after the traffic had
stopped again ;-)
I suggested that the engine was at least partly responsible, but yes the bike is quite responsive.
As indeed it is.
So there you are: bloke on 'bent with suspension (and shopping) drops racer on lightweight bike. A
nice little trundle, say I.
