If you're interested there's a whole build thread going on here as I re-engineer a honda goldwing engine for the imp. Better put the kettle on....

@Dr Dremel - yeah. I know. I'm just procrastinating in a way that only Teaboy can do. I should leave my bikes alone right now and crack on with the Imp..
As for this Yo we are all salivating over I have to say that the Ringle stuff is lush - I have an early red Ringle hub on my '90 - but its...

I have been fancying a posh road bike for some time now after selling on my 853 Fetch road bike a few years ago (Fetches were a very limited run of custom build road frames from the 90s by some fella called Andy who build some commonwealth bikes?)
Since...
Damn this is lovely. But whats with the Yoeddy sticker being on the cable side? Ive never seen a white Yo before. Lovely!
Just that bottle cage though.. I realise it might be period correct but it still looks odd on there? If were mine Id be fitting a normal alloy cage in black. But not my...
