Did the western-most part of this in the summer with a friend as part of a Scotland bike tour. Started out in Pitlochry, camped close to the Gaick lodge, and then rode on to Aviemore and Inverness the next day. We had adventure type bikes setup for mixed road/gravel, and the stretch through the Cairngorms involved quite a bit of hike-a-bike and some sections were quite muddy. Loads of fun though! There is also a brilliant place to get cake once you get through on the northern side.

Went to visit the Talbot workshop in Crystal Palace when I was in London for work last week. Really fun to see the place (impressed with this project given the size of the place), and Matt is really a super nice chap. As far as I understood it, frames up to size 55 have been sent off for painting etc. Larger sizes are almost done, but waiting on some additional seat stays due to workshop minion fuck up during measuring/cutting. Please correct me if I got it wrong.

I got a bike bag in Glasgow that ended up here because of a delayed bike. Need to get rid of it tomorrow morning, and will let it go for very cheap if anyone is interested. It is a B&W soft bag with a hard bottom shell+wheels. Used only a handful of times, works very well. Call/message me on +4745919465

The scrapes do give it character but don't add value. "lovely patina" on this one just sounds a bit delboy if you know what I mean! No offence.
Point taken. I didn't mean to imply that the patina adds value, but simply that it looks used in a good way. Perfect function, no structural damage, great paint job, full of scratches but retaining its beauty (again in my mind).
Offering it for £300, which is as low as I will go.

Beautiful frame but "lovely patina"... Seriously?
Personally I love it, and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm moving ( can't bring bikes) I would never sell it.
I find comfort in beautiful well-built bikes that you can tell have actually been used. It should hint at that their previous owners actually enjoyed riding them more than looking at them. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this point of view.
Anyway, thanks for looking.

Great, will take it if @LeBlaireau does not!
