Did you know it's something that incredibly hard to change - if you were brought up as a 'short' a person and try to 'go posh' by introducing 'long' a's, you 'll fail and end up like someone I know saying " well faaaaaarrncy that" :-) Yep, I noticed the l-o-n-g A’s and wondered.

One question though, nothing to do with the bikes, I can't make my mind up if Joe is an expat Brit or a Yank trying to speak properly.... Do you know which? ;-) Tim,

It was great to hear Joe telling it like it is! Scott Holland's Beatstick is registered with the IF owners' club and can be seen in the register under other IFs: http://www.ifrider.com/ There is another one in the exclusive photos available in the members only section of the site too. That and some photos of the uber-exclusive Steel Tungsten Electrode Beatstick bike prototype. IF are ace. Tim also has a photo of the Reynolds 953 Prototype up here: http://www.sidewayscycles.co.uk/i/00/04/24.jpg That’s a very informative bit of journalism Mr Johnson.
