Heads up re upcoming demise of my riding days!

Hi all. I have just received notice that my riding days are coming to an abrupt end. Will shortly be putting an ad on the marketplace putting my Mandello up for sale.

Short version I fave just been diagnosed with a brain tumour that does not look good! Maybe some interest but will advertise more widely in hope of a sale to a good home.

I only acquired it last October and managed barely more than one and a half thousand miles between winter then other non issues gamily related. Present mileage still less than five k total and mechanically in perfect condition. Many extras including hard bags. Will post fuller list on the site.

Thanks for all the excellent enjoyment of the club and sorry to be cut short from what I wished would have been a few more of my last years on two wheels! Ride safe everyone!

I am so sorry to hear about your news, it is amazing what they can do these days with tumours, don’t hang up your bicycle clips too early!

Let me know if you need any help with posting the bike on here.

Best wishes Chris
