2006 -- shoulda picked up the clues in Aheadset and low spoke count wheels.
Although I've had (and still have) a number of Brookes saddles my favourite perch is a Selle Italia that came on a new Moulton spaceframe in 1983 and is transfered to whatever is my current touring bike, now Airnimal Joey.
That’s a crazy looking tourer. Who makes that compact frame?
I’m in Taicang China this week, took the opportunity of some downtime to take one of the hotel bikes for a spin.
Some cities in China are fantastic, like this one. Streets are beautiful with dedicated tree lined bike lanes giving shade from the hot sun. People are very friendly and the local food is very good. (Just stay away from their “attempt” at Western food..!)
Tell me about this thing... I'm curious
Well, it’s a so-called Velo-rail, essentially a bike for two running on rails.
I have just learned is a fairly common tourist attraction in France. The country is riddled with numerous defunct railway lines, some of which now have been repurposed as a track to cycle on. A very enjoyable experience!
