Bandersnatch = Bandersmooch

There's nothing like getting love mail from our customers. Here's the latest from Robert who just picked up his Bandersnatch from us....

Hi Grassroots Bikes,

I just posted a Bandersnatch page on my MobileMe site. Check it out here:

I wanted to do this before going riding again. The bike is brilliant! I was amazed at how well it holds a line. I think it will help me become a better rider. :) It just flows. I don't know if it's the geometry, the wheelbase, or some other element, but I like it. It also seems to shift easier than other geared bikes I ridden. Color me as very happy!

The only thing that I didn't think about on my maiden voyage on Friday was the chain. I've been mainly riding single speeds for the past couple of years, so chain slap hasn't been an issue. I wish I had thought of it before riding. The chain left its mark on the chainstay. Ouch! Anyhow, I fixed that Friday night by wrapping a split innertube around the chainstay and now all is well.

Thanks again for all your help in getting this bike built for me. If you need any photos of the bike please let me know and I'll send them to you.

Cheers,
Robert
