Here's couple of initial shots of my new plaything. I'm currently on a search for some disc brakes to do her justice. I expect her to ride as good as she looks.

And an innertube. :)

Looking good. Needs a tad more red at the rear - seatclamp maybe?
 
Finished

Just finished in time for a hoon round Afan tomorrow. Assuming it doesn't get washed away in the meantime :?

I like it a lot ... apart from the tyres. I prefer blackwall with black disc rims.

The cassette went in the post today.
 
... and they're 165mm Hope Mini rotors aren't they? A little more braking power for the sake of 5mm of spacers. :cool:
 
.

185mm on the front and 165 on the rear. I'd like to swap them round and have the extra braking on the rear but I need more adapters. Shakedown test tomorrow, just hope nothing falls off :D
 
.

What a lovely ride ;) . Only niggle was the flat bar seemed a bit narrow, although its wider than the ones on my other bikes. So i've fitted some big fat carbon ones with a small rise, much better.
