That is pretty much perfect to my eyes I'd probably have aero brake levers (Shape is good for my hands) and that's it. What is it's history, is it a restoration, are you having it built to your spec?

Pretty much perfect for me. I'd like a René herse but couldn't ride one to work unless I found it in a skip...

This is restored with new paint by the last owner. I've got some 160mm TA cranks from here as I have very small legs for my height. It has 650a wheels at the moment. Will be swapped out with some 650b when I kill these tyres.

Your going to commute on it? Make sure you lock it well as it's obviously high end. Sorry if obvious

I have a place to store it indoors where only I have access.

Fantastic, that would make the commute pure joy even if it's p*ssing down.

That looks like somewhere idyllic do you mind sharing where that is? Nice Thorn too, any more pictures of that?
