    New frame. Fair play to Focus for not only replacing it under warranty, but also upgrading the year and model. And thanks to Joe Daly's also for swapping all the components from the old frame to the new for free!

    If you just see the first shot I agree, it's not the most pleasing thing for the eye, but moving down the photos and looking at the impeccable detail I was impressed with it, although gold is not something I would easily put on my bike.

    Its a one-off custom jobbie, 'dripping' in 24-carat gold according to this article: http://www.elaboratetaste.com/colnago-master-24-carat-gold-bike/

    I doubt that it was ever meant to be ridden (unless by Saddam, maybe) but, while it is OTT for sure, it's far from rank......I'd ride it! (I might trim the brake cables, mind)

    Ah yes. The owner of the stolen Elswick Ludlow Uppy passed away a year ago. I wish the bike thieves the botch, the emerods and the Egyptian scab.

    A nice trike indeed but the stem does not work with it unless you have some medical reasons.
    Trikes and tandem trikes(long barrows) are very popular in England and often seen on Audax events
