you can ride both with a very short paved section to get the full Halton experience, and if you need more you can connect it with st Helenas which is the toughest of the the three

We had one of those built for a customer to ride through Africa, it was ridiculously sweet!

as far as personal lust worthy bikes i can’t shake the feeling for the speedvagen urban racer
