Very nice.  Anyone want to compare and contrast with the current audax mk3 that can be had for a similar price, but not in orange!

A quick scan inclined me to think it's measurements were close to that of a Mercury but comparing and contrasting I'll leave to more expert eyes.

Very nice.  But I'm delighted with my 'new' ExxP and haven't got room for N+1  :)

Wow Dave!  I wish I had a shed so big I could lose two classic bicycles!

Looking at the head badge on that Nomad I would have guessed it to be one of the earlier Reynolds 531 veriety not the 725

I wonder if there is an L.A. stamped on it?
