I have re shaped the original seat post collar and fitted a QR. Also buffed it to within inches of its life. It will do until On One come up with better

    Great looking bike ya got there . The better colour option IMO :wink: .

    I was looking at getting one of these too but was put off when I heard a whisper that the the rear pivots have "bushings" instead of bearings , is this true ?

    I don't suppose you've had any cause to have the rear end apart yet to check have you ?

    ( It's just a durability/stiction bee I have in my bonnet about bushings . That and you can easily get bearings rather than custom made bushings .)

    Enjoy the ride and let us know how she goes . 8)

    Bushings are great... very smooth and very reliable, and last for ages... and Titus will hook you up with new ones when you need them.

    My old Racer X had bushes in the Horst Link, but as they move all of 5 degrees they're often more sensible than bearings, which tend to seize due to the extremely limited range of motion.
