It ain't for pimpin', it for beatin'! Repainted gloss black. Was previously golden brown and named 'the brown jobbie' by its old two owners. Pretty light weight, nice riding bike. Mud guards for the scottish weather. i'm happy to lock her up outside in the rain and ride her to the pub. People see the bar and interpret it as a slinky commuter but she is pretty damn fast.
