Frame size looks a bit big and the head angles too slack for road/street riding  |

Rear chainstay's looking a little off too, bet it's not as stable as a Boardman, which allows it's rider to ring someone else, while riding.... |

Yer, was built in 2009 due to demand and ridiculous queues at the original one |

I went on it last last summer, it kinda spoils the view but only in one direction, and you can wave at the other people, cos you get quite close.  |

its really annoying as one wheel is slightly faster - no attention to details |

Probably built by the same people that put escalators and the rubber hand rail together then. |

Depending on which wheel you are on, of course  |

Sorry Wayne you are right, we got on the new one this time, which was cool as we had been on the old one years ago. I understand what you mean about the slightly restricted view though. |

How did you miss that Ash?! It was big news last year...complete waste of lottery money. You do get a discount if you want to go on both though. They had first class pods on the new one when we went too. Looked well luxurious. |
