Speedy recumbent - Frame number 292
Oops, sorry, I guess I should have mentioned this when I read about it in the BHPC e-newsletter a couple of months ago.
I saw it hanging on the wall last time I was in the shop. It's very, very pretty and I was very tempted, but I can't really afford it and I haven't got anywhere to keep it.
