Hi Folks,
Dan, Thanks for sorting my photos out and thanks for your kind wishes.
Great looking bike. Have you got an uplift there or is the saddlebag sitting on the mudguard?
The saddlebag is on a Carradice bag support that I've had in the garage for decades. Knew it would come in handy one day. I've now put a rear pannier rack on instead but its strictly NO panniers on this bike. I have had to take the front mudguard off because I could not stop it rubbing (I've got Marathon Supremes 700 x 32c on her - and very nice they are too). It does however make it easier to get the bike into the car.
Neil, I would agree with your assessment of the weights of said bikes but my RST seems to be an awful lot heavier. Very difficult to get it on the bathroom scales tho

My bike was ready a week earlier than expected and I was due to go down to a friends the following day so they delivered it to her house in Harlech, Wales. The poor thing had to put up with it in her tiny living room for the duration. I was unable to use it much as my friend is a non-cyclist but the photos are taken when I did manage to get out one afternoon.
Since I've been home, I can't stay off her. Any excuse to go out on her as she is a delight to ride and so light.
She is called Bettina after my favorite cyclist author, Bettina Selby (I suppose I could have called it "Selby" but I thought "Bettina" fitted her better).
