About this bike

This is my workhorse and I expect it to last longer than I do.  It gets me round town and well beyond the city limits intimidating sketchy carbon frames along the way.  Reynolds 953 is stainless, and the Roberts decals were removed to reveal bare steel.  It is and always will be a mish mash of parts, ever changing as bits wear and break.
