Morning Matt, yes mate I looked at a fair few different options before I finally went for the spitfire. Couple of things made me make my mind up.
1.. love the look of the spitfire flat tracker, very minimalist
2.. built by a small’ish local company
3.. you don’t see many around, so just a little bit different
I’m sure I could have bought a more mass produced bike cheaper but I personally like the thought that I’m (to coin a phrase) a name and not just a number within the ordering process and that I’m helping a local British company keep going. (Albeit in a small way)
Also as I think I’ve previously mentioned, I work very hard and I’m not getting any younger and over the years I’ve sacrificed a few different bikes I would have liked so as to get myself on in life, so I thought “what the hell i’m doing this”
Cheers, Michael
