Well I found the thumbshifters, even though really nice to use, and TBH, prefer the function of them, I prefer the look of the underbar shifters..

But these are being changed for something else again soon.. ;)

No cantis,, as I really like to stop when I feel the need :shock: :LOL: :LOL: , as this beauty really fly's .. ;)

In fact I am having to upgrade the brakes , to something lighter and more powerful :shock: :cool:
 
Here she is then :)

I really hope you like it.. :)

Your comments are kindly welcomed... :)


Weight as seen 18.6lbs.. :) and no the batteries are fine.. ;)
 
Very nice! :cool:
Do us a favour , Si - Can you measure the chainstay length, please? I'd be interested to see how that's changed over the years, if at all.
Ta, Nick

Thanks Rich :)

Nick , yea I'll measure them later today for you and let you know.. :)
Ta.
I've already got my 22 down to 21lbs just by changing the tyres. :D
There's another 1/2 lb in the stem, and a fair bit in the saddle. If I get below 20lbs I'll be well choofed! Dunno how you manage 18lbs. :?

Sorry for the delay fella, just measured them for you and center of the bb to the centre of the rear wheel dropout measure 430mm :) ;)



Thanks guys for the comments, I have been holding off putting this up for BOTM, but decided its time,, I am really happy with the way it looks at the mo, like I say just the brakes and levers/shifters/bb to change really and thats it, I am going to leave it.. (I think :LOL: :LOL: )

Nick,, you should be able to get the weight down further fella, look at things like the inner tubes, I was surprised how much you can loose from that key area alone..

Bolts and fixing are another overlooked area too.. if you need any help give me a shout.. ;)
