Gotta say, I have always loved Formula 1 bikes, partly their cutting edge F1 inspired carbon, partly their British steel rear end, partly as they were made a mile down the road from me.
My F1 guru has always been @uno-speedo , another Surrey boy who knows more about F1 bikes than anyone. Years back, I collected an F1 he’d bought for him and was instantly smitten, but finding one for me has always proved harder. I’m a bit OCD, I like things that are fresh and new looking, F1s were race bikes and tended to be ridden, hard… But a little while back Nik contacted me about a rather special bike that someone had contacted him about through his website. See if you can spot the unusual bits, there’s two or three things that make this stand out from other F1 (all differences are from factory, not later amendments). Ignore the non-drive chainstay tab, more on that later, that is a later addition)
