Now this thing is light and shifts well with little effort eating up the 25 mile ropundtrip daily commute into and out of Central London.

Whoah! I really like the shine of your bikes! This is a great thread "from the archive" Smile

If only those welds had been smoothly ground out like a fillet brazed frame. Not sure why manufacturers don't provide a more finished look on these bikes for the prices that they fetch. I can understand the "wallyworld" bikes, but I think that this is a bit above that level when it was sold. is it because these are done by welding robots on an assembly line?
