A lovely looking and well sorted bike there Lloydie 8) 8)

Sorry you have decided to sell Kermit, but if the track and not the road is where you want to be, you can only follow you're dreams.

Good luck with the sale,

Chris.

Holy moley Lloydie, if I was in the UK I'd have Kermy tucked up in my mancave already.

GLWS, that's a helluva deal

I've been looking for a 2nd bike with flat bars for comfort road riding.

Tell me more about those bars on it please. If they're what I need ill maybe have it?

wave goodbye to the licence then. They are extremely fast and give no sense of the speed your doing.I had my mates for 2 weeks and bugger it was so smooth and just simply riding you were well over a ton.

Do they set high enough that you're almost upright then? Like on Al's bike?

Blackbird is a good bike. A mate had one, awesome for touring. Very comfy and very torquey, but also good on the twisties.

Is the BB track or road bike?

Chris .The blackbird will be a road bike but I will take it on track :-).
With the bars you can fit taller risers if you wanted to get them higher or even fit some rentals (I have a set of ultra low I can send with the bike ) .

Btt, I do have good wrist control (come with years of practice using lube)

Hell of a lot of bike for the money :thumbup:
Good luck with the sale Lloydie

Hopefully the new replacement will take a little of the sting away when selling Kermit.
