Subject: Burro's hit the UK

Guys,

 

Well I've had my bike for around a month now and must say it's been bloody brilliant!!

 Have been playing around with her here in Chicago in preparation for the onset of our dreadful winters (yet to materialize!) cycling on the lake front - very muddy and sandy beaches etc and she rides like a dream - must say I am used to a lot bigger chain rings but once you understand that you can cycle over anything on a Burro the speed thing somehow seems a whole less important.

 Anyway with that in mind I took her home with me on my last visit to the UK - my house backs on to 10 square miles of some great woodland trails- some very steep inclines and a whole lot of mud - Can honestly say that I was able to cycle routes that would have been near impossible on my Klein.

 My UK buddies were amazed/jealous/fascinated.

 Apart from a puncture about an hours trek from home one afternoon (Ok, ok so I didn't have any puncture gear with me!) I had the best time and the bike preformed exactly as you guys claimed.

 Have taken some photos as requested by Ted and once I've scanned them I'll email them over.

 I might just have to turn up at you're place one Tuesday or Thursday afternoon and give you guys a run for your money.

 Cheers,

 ST.

Subject: Maiden Voyage

Wow, what a fun bike!!  Clare likes it a lot, and I do too, judging by the six minutes I got to spend on it.
 
Do you guys glue the tires to the rims?  Clare nearly spun a valve stem off when we aired the rear down a bit for traction, so we had to deflate, straighten up, and reinflate a little firmer than she wanted for the conditions.  What kind of glue do you use?  Simon at All Weather Sports gave me some once, but I still spun the tire on the rim, so I gave up on that stuff. 
 
I'm attaching some pics from the maiden voyage.  It was a super pleasant day, temp +30, no wind, overcast. 
 
Thanks for doing such a good job!
 
Clare and Ken
