The story.
In December 2025 I was being very good and expressed to Alice so, saying: "I'm NOT buying myself this bicycle although I should!" I had all of the parts one would need to build it up from a matching bike that had a damaged frame. The opportunity was too good to pass up! But I benevolently passed it up.
It was for sale at Friendly Bicycle and after a long season of working at Keepsake, Alice's original holiday pop-up shop before she opened The Forestbound Shop, she surprised me by buying the bike from Eamon in Providence.
I asked Spoke Bicycle in Amesbury to do the parts swap and David completed a super clean build for me!I enjoy riding this as my around-townie and it's in the Never For Sale part of The Garage.
