Mr Glover picked up his Rohloff / Reynolds 853 Strada Special complete bike just before christmas ( and bad weather ) This is his second Mercian and a fan through and through. His other bike is a Rohloff full on touring King of Mercia. This frame has a sportier build. The Frame has been sprayed Apple green with Black gothic transfers and as you can see has the outer gear cable right through to the rear hub which we feel is the way to go.
