Can I enter? Whilst, technically, I own this bike, I haven't actually seen it in the flesh yet as I'm currently (Motorhome) touring Europe and a friend picked it up for me back home so I've only got the sellers pictures and info. Hardisty (of Byker) 531st tourer with campag groupset, dynamo...

You'll have to wait and see guy's, I might like them 😎🤣

Just looked a Paul's current line up of brake, the mounting system is similar, but his are conventional centre pull canti's
