Hi Graham (and others), This is one of the 28 NH-S bikes I told you about. I think I even mentioned that I had 2 that still were sitting where I bought them (this is one of those 2). I still have a 700-S (# 28) sitting in Rockford IL, which I need to get shipped here. The current bike we are discussing is # 26, and #27 is the one I've been riding this summer. Getting hard to keep them all straight, and still need to sell several of them.
I spend most my time working on house things to do with the fire, and the little spare time I have, gets sucked up really fast with these bikes. I bought this 5K mile bike SPECIFICALLY because it was suppose to look and run like NEW, and not have any issues/problems (plus I'm a sucker for low mile 700-S bikes!!!).
