SPOT Brand "ACME". (Sideways Cycles of Alsager are UK distributer)
(Or as one wag put it "What do you polish it with, Clearasil" ?)

A silent ride - almost ethereal - on smooth roads.  Originally would have preferred a Rohloff but the 11 speed Shimano is much quieter.
The polished aluminium frame is a work of art.
All I need now is a new body to match it ! ;D
