New addition to the team. Raleigh Proline RSP550. Comes in at a nice 10.4kg.
Original bar the brakes & tires. The Magura Julies have been replaced with Hope Mono Minis.
Unfortunately the original ITM Outback seat post clamp broke when adjusting the saddle angle for me. :facepalm: I suspect it might have had a hairline crack. (Very fiddly design. I'm on the lookout for another with the yellow logo as is is a better match than the RaceFace.
Gave the Quakes and quick clean, filled with air, worried the seals might have gone, but they are fine and good to go. (fiddly thinks to fill though)
The Gripshift/SRAM 9.0 just needed some GT85 on the cables and works a dream. Never used Gripshift before, so new experience.
Rides nicely, very similar to a Torus frame, though the head angle is slightly less aggressive (bottom tube is a tad longer). Brakes are something else....my cable Avid BB7s are no match!!! :shock:
Might try and find some of the right Michelin Sprints in green for it.
Anyway...probably the bike for HONC '18. :D

Looks in good condition, like the colour.

Some more pics would be good :)
