I think a colour matched earlier rc30 is right up there in terms of retro gold

Cheers fella, decals were matched as on my old pace RC100 from my early retrobike years

Re: Dave Yates Diabolo

Vey nice, the colour matched legs really make the bike stand out more. I would have been tempted to paint the crown black though.

Re:

If I had the cash.... maybe black on the crown, but It'll do me as is, and before you say anything im hoping to sort a black seatpost eventually, maybe an XT if anyone wants to swap a 27.0mm for my 26.6mm

Sooooo..... meet Dave everyone

Re:

Ride is surprisingly good, I ride my thorn nomad every day and its a proper comfort machine, high stem, swept bars and a realy level riding position.
This is a lower stretch but it doesnt stress my ageing back like a GT would, I guess that longer headtube and medium length stem are just right for me, light feeling ride and quite a responsive rear end - put your foot down and yer off.

I even did a wheelie
