So far this is the only bike I want to replace my Kilauea with. Strada Cycles of Bristol are excellent but they’re having a hard time sourcing an XL Stache 5 test ride bike for me. No worries, I can wait.
The passion started when Strada lent me the Krampus to test ride…PURE BLISS! This was even with too-high gearing and a crippling 34lb RIGID weight ( ouch ). Having decided I wanted the Krampus the Stache 5 came along with ALL the component upgrades I was planning for the Krampus rebuild as well as a bizarre light weight of 27-ish lb for the rigid. Bit of a no-brainer there. Beggars can’t be choosers for the colour ( Jesus what were they thinking ) but after watching the vids on Youtube I’m more and more convinced it is ” the one. “
Time will tell.
That was a lovely jumble! Freezing cold, pishing rain and loads STILL turned up! Seven stalls, lots of seller and buyers plus I made £60 for the Mud Dock lads ( need some women working in there ) for their pizza fund.
