New Transport to Work:

[Jon The Bassist]

So, I picked this up from Sparky yesterday:



It's a lovely bike in immaculate condition. The little details on the bike are excellent like the SE racing donuts on the grips and the brake cable which are braided/coated in clear plastic type that I've not see before - the saddle is something else, very comfy. Sparky was a great guy to do business with also. I'm also chuffed to ride a bike that's named after Scot Breithaupt (and his bike), who pretty much organised the first proper BMX racing.

I thought I'd show you all a picture before I set it up for winter use tonight with lights and mudguards.

Cheers guys, and I'm well aware of the "Ronald MacDonald bike" name for it; at work I'm already the nutter that rides BMXs to the office 
I've flipped the stem over and moved the spacers to the top to bring the bars down a couple of inches. I'm already looking forward to the ride home tomorrow.

very nice, be interested to see how it looks after the winter gear has been added, hope you are going to colour code it correctly ;0

Nah, I'm skint now so it's gonna be cheap black bits. I don't think it'll detract much from the subtle colourscheme

Where do you work theses days Jon? Still in Harrogate?

post up some pics anyway, intrigued as to how well a cruiser can pull off the 'road warrior' look

Here ya go then; it took a while to find a front mudguard that fitted as most MTB guards have an expander bolt that goes inside the steerer tube - which wouldn't fit due to the caliper brake.
