Re:

Ta. I do really like that blue. However 2 of the photos somehow got converted to grayscale so I've updated the post :-)
 
That's a great looking build and really nicely specced. It certainly looks like it would ride really nice. :)

Re:

Think you would be advised to change the BB axle before riding much further though- that adjustable cup is 'adjusted' out way beyond my comfort-zone.
 
Well spotted Mr Torqueless. Is that an Italian 70mm axle in there plus thick cups?

Lovely bike by the way :)

Thanks for the comments.
The BB is a bit of a work in progress. I only had a 115 in my parts bin so it had to go on. Well I do have others but they really should go in my bin bin. However, it rides just fine. I'll get around to changing it sometime but I have a Colin Cape race frame gathering cobwebs in the shed that needs attending to, not to mention an overdue rebuild of my mid 90's Sabre rigid MTB, or is it an early monster-cross, I'm not totally sure, I've never seen anything else quite like it.
