Explaining why I’ve got a new frame when the one it supersedes had done me such good service prompts a listing of motivations that singly justify Sarah’s distrust. En mass they were too collectively coherent to ignore. The Twenty2 frame is now likely to see long service in the West Australian desert – getting to places that make the most of it’s attributes, and comfortingly I’ll be able to say ‘hello’ now and then.

This post serves to depict the debut of my new AMPeirce frame. In it’s 4″ ‘fat’ guise. Andy is a friend of many friends, and has proven astute, patient and most importantly an exceedingly fine worker in metal.

There will be much more fun to come, I’m sure.
