  5. Varadero
    Sold the Vara yesterday due to it not getting used enough and the wife losing all interest in bikes. Really sad to see it go as it is without doubt the best allrounder I've had.

  11. Transalp
    Well, the new bikes home. A nice 23 mile run including dual track, A & B roads & hilly lanes. Being a returnee to biking anyway, & used to hammering out the miles on a 1961 Brit, it was about as pleasant an experience, in an 'un-classic' way as could be. I'd taken her for a brief 'test spin'...
