Belt drive. Disk brakes. Hubs attached to frame on one side only. Very interesting machine.
Oil is good, grease is better.

Phew, sigh of relief, all is good and I don't need stabilisers!
So, after a round trip of almost 7 hours, thanks to my partner doing all the driving, we finally got home with my
"Jubbly"
Cool folding handlebars
The reflective strips and reflective tyres are quite good.
Just about to fold it
Panic, the seat did not seem to go down enough. I started "spitting my dummy out" as I was starting to worry.
First thing this morning, riding Jubbly, all was good, of course it will take a while to feel really confident but for what I want to use it for it will be great.
Thanks for the comments, it is always lovely to think anybody is even remotely interested.

NB During the 1950's there was an orange ice lolly in a triangular shaped package called a "Jubbly". When the advert use to come on TV, it was to the words of "Lovely Jubbly". Fond memories, so, my bike is called Jubbly, lovely Jubbly.
