Bike aquired

A big thanks to Gavin, 'Spinwell', http://spinwell.co.uk/  Managed to strike an agreement and lovely bike acquired that I'm sure is up to the task, its just whether I am.  Gavin was looking for a new project so the Pinarello FP1 was up for grabs, with a heavy heart I think.  Gavin, again a big thanks as I was in a bind, you really helped me out with this one; strapped for cash since Christmas, this managed to just slide in.  I owe you a few drinks.  Cheers Gavin.  All; click through to the website, really nice low key affair with some tasty merchandise to boot.
