Kinesis Decade Virtue - Update 21/11

So i've been wanting to build a modern steel hardtail for a while. After months(years?) of decision making and after doing a couple of custom builds at work on Virsas, I decided to shell out for one.
I'm not sure how many of them were labelled "Virtue" before they changed the name, so could have a little more rarity value. Either way, i'm not gonna comprimise on the build and have pretty much decided what to order.
I already have a nice pair of wheels & brakes, along with headset & BB.

Nice colour combo.

Nice frame. Don't know anything about them but good tubing. Looks smart.

Not quite as blingin as your build but still nice.

I've changed a few bit's since this photo. This was it's first ride.

Nice build! I really can't wait to get it on 2 wheels! Im getting there too, as nearly got enough cash for the forks... Just need to sell some more stuff

So i've finally got it built up!

I've borrowed my mates spare F100's & his front wheel just to get me on 2 wheels.

I've also decided against quite such a pimpy build - partly due to fundage issues... & partly due to impatience.

The spec below should be final, just waiting for a few things... new forks, i have the seatpost at work & those bars need to go.

Also need to remove the inner & outer chainrings, fit a 36t single, bash & chain device.

I have the matching front wheel to the rear, but as it's a 15mm bolt thru hub, i'm waiting for my new forks to arrive.
