Means I can snooze on the train instead of tearing down the M90.
First use in anger tomorrow - Edinburgh beware!

Edit: and yes the seat isn't at the riding height in the picture

That logpile is a disgrace!

Oh, and replace the tyres with Marathons immediately. And make sure you keep them pumped up HARD all the time! Welcome to the clan!

A few tips (In case you haven't already thought of them...!)
Practice the fold. Please. Otherwise you'll look like a shortened Richard every time you try it in the rain on the platform as you rush.
Try riding it properly before hitting traffic. They're great, but have, erm, quirky handling...!
Get a bag on the front. I can't see a block on there, but a proper bag on there is a joy. I have a C and it's ideal for laptop, lunch, spare shirt and assorted daily gubbins.

Thanks (not about the log pile obvs!)
Marathons are on the list although I'll get the lbs to fit them as I have a bit of a hate hate relationship with hub geared rear wheels.
Can I put a bag on with the s bars?

And a firm suspension block is very worthwhile upgrade, as are the taller and narrower roller wheels by the sus block.
