Mainly 'cos Jez was curious, but just in case some of you haven't seen one before, here's my Slingshot roadie.
Built up slowly over the past couple of years to get here-not perfect yet, still want a few more bits to really get it spot on.
Was aiming for a mountain bike oriented build, hence the nukeproof, salsa, rock shox, cooks and compact frame but I also wanted campag as none of my bikes have shimano (although the hubs meant shimano splined cassette :? ) .
Rides so smooth and comfortably - great for an achy heap like me.
