Re:

Orange + Blue. Who knew? That it'd look so good together

And from the pics it obviously rides as well as it looks. Awesome!

Re: Ally O Resto getting somewhere

Totally rolled back the years, after a few minutes it all felt completely natural, must be some kind of learned memory from back in the day, but it was flying!

Race report to follow in due course, we'll see what 6 hours feels like...

but absolutely delighted

Great work! Looks Ace
Know what you mean about getting back on an "O" after not riding one for so long - even on a longer ride, it's comfortable yet feels fast - especially with the rigid fork!
Good luck with the race...look forward to the post race pics.

Cheers.

Cheers awbody, have been absolutley loving riding this around, so far i've been on 2 proper rides round like local woods, with over 1200 metres climbed, plus a few commutes, just to get my eye in for the weekend - it has behaved faultlessly.
I have noticed I have needed a proper rethink when it comes to the descents, much more thought going into when you can get the braking done, and having to have a very light touch on the bars, to stop getting your teeth rattled out. I love it, it feels like you are properly connected to the terrain, and you give everything a bigger level of respect than you have to on a modern bike.

Great job. The modern paintwork does not detract from it at all
