Hey Garry! That’s really interesting – it’s a nice outfit although the wheels look smaller than 26″. You don’t mention frame size. I suppose with that design it doesn’t matter. It looks a sturdy, well balanced machine.
It certainly is a well balanced bike and comfortable too, sorry I don’t know the frame size as it was custom built to me!
What A Star!!! Just like its owner xx
