Having looked at KFT's bike the other weekend and planning for longer day rides i have decided to visit SPA Cycles tomorrow to discuss the purchase of a SPA Cycles Steel Tourer, in green. With a single 38 tooth chainset.
Although both my current bikes have alloy frames I am from the 531 generation.... and have a small number of 531 frames squirrelled away ... If any one wants one at a non ebay price..
The TREK 1.1 will be my daily short distance ride (<30 miles), my beloved BTwin 500 will have mudguards fitted from my shed stocks and will be my winter bike .... and the SPA will be for long days out ...Hopefully lots of them.
So chaps and chapesses .... if there is a really good reason why i should avoid the "SPA Cycles Steel Tourer" ..... now is the time to tell me..
