Took it out for the first time today, an exceptionally smooth ride and fits me perfectly. Now my numero uno steed! Off with my mate for a 65 mile blast tomorrow, which should be a good test ride.

Did just over 60 miles on the Roberts today, utterly faultless and a fantastic smooth ride. This is one bike that isn't going anywhere without me!
