I’m in Cambridgeshire. Looking to buy outright. Have around £5k at the minute but some more money to come (be quicker if more people wanted a chain guard lol) I’d be interested in haveinf a look if you have a FS thread or anything?
Have rode both the 929 and 954, the later wins hands down! It just does everything better and doesn’t look Lardy either like the 929 does Don’t get me wrong the 929 was still a great bike
Is this perceived or real impression that build quality reduced related to the search for weight-reduction, as opposed to lowering production standards?
Shows how our opinions will vary. I have both, as you prob know, and both in excellent condition. My evaluation is that the 929 rides and handles better, but I might be fortunate that its suspension settings play right into my hands.
If I wanted a bike for all year round riding i’d get another 929 or 954 if I could find a good one for sensible money. I saw some crazy cheap 929s when looking with full history and low owners, one even 1 owner from new. They are an absolute bargain for something so bullet proof. I’m tempted to look again just to have a cheap blade in the garage I can ride without caring if it’s going to rain...
