Awfully nice to see you back again with a picture-post, Paul. Any chance "Flammerouge" will be back? I spent many happy times looking at it.  Simply a lovely bike there.

All the best,

Dan.

Thanks for sharing Paul....it's nice to see a parallel build. Great looking set-up you have there.
What sort of front dynamo have you got? Presently I couldn't justify the expense, as the RST really only gets daytime airings. I have a SON on my other bike as I use it daily and in the dark, paired with a B & M Lumoteq (which I have had a few problems with - namely a sheared metal bracket and a sheared plastic bracket on the unit itself).

Gareth,  It is a cheap and cheerful shimano one.  That said, it produced enough power to light the absolutely awesome B&M IQ Cyo front light to the extent that cars regularly dip their lights when they see me coming!  I got the wheel [Mavic rim and shimano hub] from bike24 in Germany, and even with delivery it was cheaper than anybody in the UK.

Oh, and I also removed the Thorn stick on badge on the headtube, so mine is completely stealthy now!!!

Danneaux, I haven't done anything with FR for about 2 years now, but if you are a wordpress member, send me a request and you should be able to get access.
