Re: Donnay Carbon Pro 8000 (it's an Alan, honest!)
on it i think is a 120mm, I reckon I could get away with a 90mm. I've put the seat even further forward after my first ride. I'm seriously considering a seat post thats more inline that the current one. I prefer a bit more of a TT set up and my bum feels too far back at the moment, I don't feel like I'm over the pedals, more behind them

put a few more miles on it in the last 3 weeks, around a ton I think.
picked myself up a no-name 90mm 26.0 shiny shiny stem from t'bay, and that felt a lot better up front.
arrived this morning from wadsy in deepest darkest Berkshire was a 25mm use seatpost. that feels a WHOLE lot better at the back.
as it stands i will possibly move it back a little to find some middle ground between function and not killing the lines of the bike so much (which i think it does a little)
anyway, less ado-ing, more picturing...

right. been having a lot of fun on this when the sun is out.
piccy is from the start of May on a 40m test loop through Eartham. Eventually planning on upping the mileage by 20 each time to a century, but i keep getting stuck at 40...
(forgive all the post-proccessing, it was a slow day at work..)

I'm with you there mate
Hope to see you on Godders' ride Max :xmas-wink:

It's a good thing to have something connected to someone that's no longer here....have several thing from a certain small person that I treasure dearly and are a great comfort
And as Mike said it would be lovely to see you on the 27th if you can make it :xmas-wink:

This bike is always on my mind around this time of year and as a result I'm usually thinking about how it would've looked originally and the things we talked about before we couldn't talk any more.
I managed to source a lovely polished ally fork that looks great (I've attached a pic with it mocked up as I'm still missing a couple of bits) whilst it's not an alan fork, it's still pretty damn cool (and Belgian?)
I'm very conscious about how rare the Spox wheelset is so I have half an eye open for some deep v section ally wheels
