Haven't had one of these for a while … anyone still got/use theirs?

Great bikes, I miss mine:

This was taken in my brother's back garden, so I can claim no credit for the state of the lawn, brickwork or pointing.

Same colour as mine DK. Really liked it but my back didn't 🙁

Would have another (this time with a suss post) in a second but you don't see them for sale much.

Yep, you needed a ThudBuster!

I imagine they've mostly gone the same way as mine and RudiBoy's by now, apart from the titanium one that I wish was mine.

Where did I crack RudiBoy?

I might do a reissue if I can find the drawings.
Maybe a lower BB this time.

I'd vote for keeping the BB where it was.

Brant...mine cracked on the gusset for the seat tube, where the gusset meets the top tube, Potential crack on the headtube/downtube area as well. although I didnt scrape the paint off to check and I was running some pikes on there.

Can't find any pics of mine at the moment, same colour as dorset_knobs (black dragon?).
I rode it in the first or second Dusk til Dawn as a soloist.
Back killed me after that- the wife had to drive me home while I lay flat on the back seat of the car.
I'd like to ride one again, it climbed a lot better than the Cannondale it replaced, but not being an angle geek I'm curious how the geometry would have stood the test of time.

anyone recognise this one.
It was a friends, and I think we once identified it as a PX frame, but I dont quite remember.
