I have a bacchetta giro att 26x26 this one

lots of photos at [s942.photobucket.com]

I bought this bike in July and rode it up to September, when the bad weather started.
it flies and climes hills, we have some good ones around Rotherham and never had to walk up one, being 26" front and open cockpit it is very easy to ride, the euromesh seat is comfortable, I can do slow tight figure eight and ride at less than walking pace when coming up to lights and junctions, the mechanical disc brakes are fantastic with good feel and easily adjusted from the handle bars.
the condition is very good a slight mark on the boom in front of the seat, it is still on the original tyres I do not have a computer on it but can not have done more than 700 miles, I am 5.10" and can put my foot flat to the ground when laying in the seat, any one shorter would have to sit up as you come to a stop.

As you can tell I love this bike the average speed on rolling ground above what I can do on the trike is eye watering, here is the but I have broken my hip and have found out I have osteoporoses my doctor recommends I stick to a trike from now on.
£1000

This was unlucky Mark. I have recently sold my ICE Q26 and bought a Giro 26 with the proceeds.

Sorry about your injury I hope you manage to find another trike.

you know if it was not for bad luck, i would have no luck at all.
and frankly sir rubbing salt in the wound is nothing but bad grace ;-)

you will love it the difference when climbing is marked, i was most impressed with the comfort once i got the seat adjusted properly. i was going to change to bar end shifters as i have never got on with twist grips, keep us updated how you are getting on.

I was going to post a photo of the trike because it was gorgeous ;Ø)

I am waiting for the snow and ice to clear before I get out on the road. We are still about -4 and windy in Denmark and getting colder again.

i have been to the doctor this morning i am now allowed light peddling on the trainer,so life is good. one more week and i will be again a recumbernought

i am now getting a lot better almost walking without a stick, doing 20mile plus rides now.
so looking to ether swapping or selling the bike soon, or i will look at trading it in i am looking for around £1350

just uploaded a picture of the bike it is not that good, taken with a phone, but better than nothing.

not a fantastic photo but hay it is there at last.

Thanks for the reply

Apologies, I have now got my specs on and reread your orig message. Lovely bike but way above my price range. Best of luck with your recovery.

Swop for gold plated crutch with built in billiard cue ending.

i will be going off touring soon so i am willing to let the bike go for cash rather than px £1200

now got a second trike and a handcycle, so just the giro to go now.
the hip is getting better but got a short leg now :-( but ok on the trike :-)

back from the tour.

i will be off again in two weeks for a week long tour on the trike.

just updated a lot of photographs.

Looks like you've swapped the brake cables over to British standard i.e. left for rear and right for front? I've still got mine fully wrapped up the American way, which does worry me a bit.

yes paulm the left is the rear.
