Joe’s Fully laden machine
Hi Guys, Here is my KOM on the Canal Lateral near Agen. This was my first fully loaded trip on the King and the bike handled extremely well. I was concerned at first that there might be some speed wobble when descending but no such thing. She handled like a real thoroughbred tourer, feeling better…

Here is a photo of us at the 10th annual “Tour Dem Parks, Hon” inBaltimore, MD USA, a few weeks ago, 35 urban miles. In total about3000 miles or so since build.

Jims Bike
A lousy iPhone picture, but proof of road worthiness. Have to admit to being somewhat apprehensive – what if Reynolds 725 doesn’t ride as nicely as my 30 yr old 531 Mercian?
