Word of warning.. I decided to buy a Topeak bike cover for the diamond Agattu and foolishly I assumed the Mountain bike version would fit. It is too small. The bike is approx L 76" H 34" (to top of saddle) W of handlebars 25". The Topeak is L 70.1" ! It is a big bike .. Any suggestions on an alternative high quality cover, apart from a parachute!!?

That length is due to the 28" wheels, but still large nonetheless,the large wheel Torq being about 4" shorter.

This outdoor large motor cyle cover will do for up to 90" long:

Here's the page with all versions.

This bicycle one from another supplier is drawn in by ties, but looks as if it will cover the length easily:

and they have a tandem cover as well:

Thanks Flecc,
Don't tell me I have to buy a motorbike cover!! Looks like you could fit an articulated lorry under that lot! The bike is parked up in our porch at the moment and is in the way (of everyone except me!) And speaking of articulated lorries, it is a bit of a beast and a little heavier than I had anticipated. I find that if I remove the battery, it is easier to carry up our steps.. though I am anticipating a Laurel and Hardy moment when I let the thing go and it ends up careering down the hill, all the way to the Pump Rooms in the city centre.

p.s. still waiting for the helmet to arrive ( then I'll be granted my riding licence by the authorities:D ), consequently unable as yet to test those gears.

Look at my post again, as I've edited in two bicycle alternatives while you were posting.
