Hoping to get some time on it this weekend to get it finished, just brakes and cabling to complete.

Is there an echo in here...? Keep saying this about four unfinished builds I've got on the go None quite as exciting as this though, really looking forward to seeing it all together

Argos have down a stunning job, keep up the good work

The Hot is awesome love that colour, even though I could never ride it as it would clash terribly with my hair Glad to see you have as good a taste in ale as in bikes (Adnams box in one pic)

Looks fantastic as expected.

What colour are the Graftons?

Cheers, really pleased so far. The graftons are silver with XTR rings.

Dangit Phil, you know what this is going to make me do.
Seeing yours has lit a fire under my A#@ and it makes me want to refinish mine.
Oh well, if I have to I guess I will.
Looks great! I say use the Graftons.
