I hope no one minds me posting this - although we are a business, this is Rob's personal machine.
It's a Greenspeed Low Racer with a red frame, yellow seat, 18 gears, hub brakes, Ultegra drivetrain and a nice Egg ring on the front, about 3-4 years old and in generally good condition. It's primarily a race machine - *can* be used on road, but could do with a wider gear range if that was to be its primary use.
Please drop me an email if interested - I'll try to hunt out a picture to put on the website soon.

Do I take it he's switched allegiance to the "Stupidly Low Racer"?

<g> Yep. He's been busy rebuilding the fairing this weekend after the nose got a bit bent at Cycle Vision :-) He's also moved the gear shift to the non-steering handgrip, and can sometimes even remember that he has.....

Is it just me, or do the vast majority of 'bents I see on various web sites seem to be of this colour scheme? Personally, I couldn't care what colour it is, I want one!

If you visit websites about Greenspeeds, quite possibly. Pretty much everyone else seems to do seats in black, and frame colour varies as much as in any other genre. It seems this year's New Black is a metallic green...

One is Australian (like Greenspeed) and one is New Zealand. Maybe it's an antipodean thing? Logo Trikes are only a few kilometres away from me. I've never been to see them though as the temptation might be just a bit strong (though not as strong as the right hook I'd get from my wife for spending a few thousand dollars).

I think it's quite a popular colour scheme for Greenspeeds but 'bents generally come in pretty much any colour you could want - there were some lovely metallic purple ones at Cycle Vision - and then there's the screaming metallic pink tandem trike that ICE sometimes take to shows - talk about retina burn :-)
