Summary
COI synopsis: Tough and tiny... stubborn as a mule and twice as strong... it scrambles up the steepest of hills and down again, without a second’s hesitation. What is it...? It’s Super Gnat, go anywhere, climb anything - even 1 in 1 gradients - through softest squelchiest bogs on its three fat black tyres - join Ian Morrison in Scotland.
