Nice bike, Clive Gosling was trying to get me to buy an XLM when I bought my Oreas, but I wanted the thicker wall tubes that come on an Oreas. I do prefer the look of the dropouts on the XLM tho..

Re the tyres, you need to ride them really to get the sealant to slosh around and work its way into all the gaps in the tyre and where it meets the rim. you cant really do it effectively while he bike is static.

Popped bead poured a small bottle of stans in seems to be holding up, no rim leakage or any white bleeding through tread,,,beginners mistake not enough sealant ,,,,yep Clive good feller love the bike, should have brought the independent fabrication ti from him...

Gorgeous looking bike. The lack of spokes and almost radial set up would scare the cr@p out of me though
