The new [year old!] Downtube Bike has arrived!

Just collected from Waterloo Station my new [secondhand] downtube VS9 bike! It’s great to be back on a full suspension bike with gears, after using the company light weight, single speed, vividbrand.com branded bike for a week! Which has rock hard tyres! and is an uncomfortable bike to use daily!

Replacement Downtube orange FS9 Downtube folding bike

I have just secured another Downtube orange FS9 Downtube folding bike from eBay to replace my old orange FS8 which has a knacked broken frame. Will pick up bike this Friday from the seller. This secondhand bike is costing me more money than my original new one cost me which is 5 years ago.

One broken orange VIIIFS Downtube folding bike!!

21 May

After 5 years of faithful use my orange VIIIFS Downtube folding bike has given up the fight. Cycling home Wednesday evening and the complete bottom bracket snapped off the frame, leaving the front crank dragging on the floor and me having to walk home!!
