Hey guys, I really should have pointed out I am in London, although I am prepared to travel for the right bike.
So far as the colour debate goes, my recently nicked bike was silver and I could not keep up with all the blue bikes on the ride outs. I put this down to the colour not my riding, so have to agree that blue bikes are the fastest, or concede I cant ride.
Christo, kind offer mate, but not too sure I can wait until September! Oh, and I have seen you ride, not sure it will be in one piece by then ;-)
