Winstanley's are doing them for £719 brand new - even cheaper than the ex-display ones at Upgradebikes

Finished building it up - swapped the Pikes onto it - and went for a little ride around town. Seems to work ok so far

Looks much better with the Pikes.

How does it ride?

Ah, now that looks loads better and fresh with white Pikes. The super high seat looks a tad out of place/odd but end up with mine like this half the time!

I'm going to flip the stem to give a bit more height on the front.

Defo sounds like one of my builds! 2" or 3" rise bars might help or a rise stem.

looking good Tom!

I seriously thought about one of these after my Kona A snapped but never found one at a sensible price, making me wish I had!

31lbs give or take a bit. Weighed on fishing scales, so accuratish
