f'king ebay......I must be doing something seriously amateurish.....I have lost out of two wheels sets. The final bit of the project is to replace the wheels I currently have on it......missed out both times, once by 20p and second time by 45p......some bastard is buying up all the 27 1/4 stock!
Updates from riding in the rain: The front brakes don't work so well. I think this is because the front wheel in chrome. I have been told this is bad news for the brakes. (Hence the need for new wheels)
The mudguards, although look quite sporting, are a serious fail! They don't do much to protect me from the rain.
I think the seat is still too low! Only noticed when I was standing on bike and going up a hill!
