From what I can remember, when the first team of Pom Grasstrackers came out inc, Don Godden, Julian Wigg, Chris Baybutt and Roland Duke, their bikes were slow to arrive.
Don rode like a novice on borrowed bikes until his Godden turned up, then he rode like his reputation predicted, to make his bike look the goods.
I'll admit that there is nothing more comfortable than your own bike.
Mr Buckett would remember those days better than me.
