Thanks for all your kind words guys.
Have to say the wait was well worth it. First ride at Chicksands yesterday lunchtime (albeit shorter than planned) was great. The bike handled exactly how I remembered it, super crisp handling was really inspiring in the sweeping singletrack and the combination of the position and weight had me riding up hills one or two gears higher than on my other bikes. Not one to jump though - DBR's have a tendancy to nose dive, and I need to sort the brakes as they hurt Rekiborters ears!
Can't wait to ride it at Afan next weekend.
Thanks also to those who helped with parts - can't remember you all but Slimjoe, Gil and Ben.
