Now 5 years old, this bike is great on two levels - Firstly, it is a superb all rounder for winter training - touring and the 3 Peaks. Secondly, it is a test bed for some of my wilder ideas. It started as a drop-bar build with RC31 forks and basic mechanical disks, then to CX forks and Hope hydraulics (a world first?), then to Avid mechanical disks and lately to flat bars (to keep up with the wife's descending on 3 Peaks. Finally it is augmented with (courtesy of EBay)a suspension stem and seat post. Who knows what next!

Oops - flat bars now banned for 3 Peaks. Back to drops then (or maybe Midges)
