Have we done this yet? Ignoring the flag stuff, it’s a lovely (expensive) day to day mostly USA made bike… they look to genuinely have build it for the needs of the owner, while showcasing the USA bike industry.
Vee brakes? I'm not sure it has been built with Boris in mind, have they not considered the heft, sorry,.momentum he'd gain if he went down a slight incline? 230mm rotors needed 🙂
$1500? Something tells me they under declared that.
Is that what you mean by built it for the needs of the owner?
sorry,.momentum he’d gain
Not without a very very sharp left turn he won't

Very good

I had a set of WI One cranks on a secondhand bike. They were in okay condition but defo used.
Ebay got me £200 quid for them so I would agree.
I thought they said 5k on the Last Leg. Maybe 1500 is for the frame
Love the third comment on that web article.
I read somewhere else that Bilenky did it well below cost.
That's a lovely gift but I suspect a Trojan horse of some kind, perhaps listening devices housed in the head tube
Which would be a security concern but for the fact that fat boy will just dump it in one of Stanley's outbuildings on his vast estate, or sell it on eBay to help make this month's maintenance payments
Edit: and top marks for the momentum joke. Nice
Brooks saddle would have been more appropriate than the Selle I'd have thought.
Brooks and Selle Italia … same company, same factories, aren’t they? Nothing USA about either.
EDIT: that‘s a Selle Anatomica saddle on the bike… so USA made and entirely in keeping with the theme of the bike.
Not my cup of tea, but looks nicely made. GX AXS mech and shifter is a nice touch.
Wait until fatboy needs to source some spares. Mind you, he'll probably get his smuggled flown legitimately into Biggin Hill by one of his Russian mates. One rule for them...
Looks alright apart from the useless blob of grease between the saddle and the bars.
Thought it said Bellend behind the bike in that pic.
Trojan dandy horse.
I hope boris remembers to charge his drivetrain!
I hope he thinks to swap the brake levers over from the US standard, otherwise a swift exit OTB is on the cards. Which would be unfortunate.
