Roll on tomorrow evening and the start of the build

no drops?

Not yet cos it's both commuter and training bike (plus my back's knackered from my racing past :? )

Arrrgh, none of the house posse were home when the delivery guy called - touch wood for re-delivery tomorrow.

Huzzah, the frame landed today....



Classic Spooky blue, I'm really chuffed with it.

A quick build later and it's come on a treat:





Still not sure about running drops 'cos of my back, but we'll see how it goes. Waiting for the King headset to land plus front and rear brake cable hangers, then it'll be a good old fettle to get everything working and ship shape.

Cannae wait to get out on the wee blighter

*Excited*

WOW!!! Love it!

Isn't the colour called 'smurf blue'?

Like the new Spooky decals too

rare that dedicated cyclo-x frames have any bottle boss mounts.

A-huh, I asked very nicely for them to be added plus Crud Catcher mounts too, this is wet 'n windy Blighty afterall!

That thing looks awesome Lee!

Now i need to find out what happened to the first frame I sent over!

Looking good Lee! those new decals are pretty fantastic. I've been commuting on mine for the past 5 or so years and loving it. Don't fret about the drops, they will only laugh for a minute until they can't see anything but your dust!
