Is it more comfortable than the S1 now Dave? Or are cycle shorts still required?


If I come down to jacks hill it'll be without the cycling shorts. This might be a mistake but I'll let you know how it goes. I don't think it can be less comfy than the S1 unless I fill said shorts with a hand full of nuts and bolts bits of broken glass and a hand full of iron filings :shock:

Hi Dave H.
What a great job you've done with your bike.
Your attention to detail is excellent.
Can you post a pic of the whole bike please?

All the best Paul.

Here ya go Paul. Here's a link to some previous pics a bloke called Chris who used to frequent this forum a while back took at the National motorcycle museum when I first rebuilt it. It has the original 'race style' seat on that I've replaced.

I've been keeping a close eye on it and you're right. For Sunday in the peak District it's forecast a bloody deluge for most of the day. Bummer :(

Really nice bike, looks a bit Hurricane stylee. My eyes are constantly drawn all over it bit by bit. Really interesting to look at. Attention to detail is awsome.
All the best Paul.
