Finished the build just over a month ago. The tweaks are finished and she's getting thrashed twice a week. The best bike I've had yet. Totally awesome ride and I love it to bits!!

Nice!

It actually bares an uncanny resemblance to the Vit T2 which I finished building yesterday (also has no stickers and Pace RC36s).

Just love the RS1 Middleburns, they were always the nicest cranks especially in silver. Nice build, although I am biased when it comes to Titanium over other lesser framed bikes!

I only miss the decals, but that is maybe personal.
Very nice.

The decals will be supplied by another well known forum member.
I would have waited until then, but I'm too keen to show it off.

Some more pics with a little more detail. You may notice almost all bolts are Ti or Ally!
