Gosh that's nice. If only it had the fork. I'd snap it up.

 

[MatBH5]

Take your pick if you want to add a fork… I think this a couple of years later, but still.

 

[narcotitlan]

Nice prices

 

[MatBH5]

Yes, a Forkplay and Stem for under £250.
I think the RC30 and Bontrager would prove popular today at those prices.

Plus I have some suitable forks, though the steerer’s too short

 

[KermitGKona88]

I have a few 1" forks

is it an old Cumbria ? - "
CUMBRIA - The Cumbria is the perfect combination of commuter bike and heavy-duty touring bike. It's built to look like a conventionally-styled touring bike, but uses 26" wheels and has plenty of clearance for up to 26x1.75" tyres.

The smaller wheels are less likely to cause problems on even the worst roads, while the larger volume of air in the tyres gives you a more comfortable ride over the bumps.

The smaller frame will be stiffer and stronger, aiding longevity and handling, and a judicious choice of seatpost can also help take the edge off the most pot-holed routes.

There’s a small price to pay in overall speed compared to its 700c-wheeled counterpart, but this bike isn’t built for speed, but reliability, comfort and endurance."

Did one us get this bike? If so where's the bloody build thread at?
