OK guys, settle down! ;-)

I wasn't going to put my 2 cents in, but.....

As an American woman who actually has ridden a real Flying Scot, I can definitely vouch that these are really really nice bikes. In fact I would love to have one in my size.

Unfortunately, my mother's mixte Flying Scot tourer from the 50s is way too small for me.

I am not a frame building expert, but I know what I like & I think the Scot is a nicer bike than the PX10 I ride. & I really like my PX10.

The Flying Scot mixte can be seen on Bob's website.

I would love to see Brian's comparison of a Flying Scot with a Masi.
