Its mine for sale if you know any one thats intrested send them my way.
Originaly built this bike to do john o groats to lands end trip aprox 960 miles with the route i chose but now due to health issues (back problems my spine is dodgy and my Back muscles are over worked so i can damage them easy) im havein go sell it
As you can imagine being built for a almost 1000 mile trip its verry reliable with a 5speed drum brake sturmey archer hub for reliable gear changes and brake. Iv easly spent over £500 buliding it
Any way if you want or know any one that wants it Send them my way
when in doubt...... flat out.

Yeah pal took me about 3-4 months to build to how you see it now. Built the back wheel myself had to get innovative with the back brake as it originaly had a rod brake setup that woz compleataly useless and once it got wet you had no chance of stopping. Now thow the rear drum works fine and you can even stop inthe wet (rod brakes dont work in the wet)
So yeah it took a while to make and its a shame to see it go but need the space (it lives in the house) and money.
If you know anyone that is interested in it send them my way please
Oh and its £325 ono
