lovely EM, only thing I would do is cut the bars to match the length of the grips*

Well done, bring it along to easts so I can have a proper look!

Nice, you can't lock it anywhere in London or ride in it in the rain though.

It's a beauty. Is it wrong of me to ask how much it cost all in?

And how do you say the name? I know it's not "three rensho".

Agree, it's like showing a bit of leg with that length of grip. Just enough to tease :)

Very nice bike!

So are you actually going to ride it anywhere, or just post about it here? I think it would make a perfect polo bike...
