Huge thanks to Adrian, who was very accommodating with my growing list of requirements/ideas, listened to, discussed with and ultimately came up with something that has exceeded my expectations.

Could you take a picture of just the stick?

The bike is lovely, but it's really in the way.

I shouldn't like it, 29er and Middleburn cranks and all, but that is a really good looking bike.

Yes it appears to be, but that bike is obscuring some of it 🙂

Er, I wouldn't like to kick the whole dress thing off again, but it's not blue, it's brown...

Rarely have I ever seen a frame that looks so "right". Lovely.

BTW...blue frame + white forks surely needs a white saddle and grips?

Go back to the mid 90's, there was loads of them 🙂

Garden needs some colour

Very nice looking bike. Is it just me or does the logo on the down tube seem too far down or is my ocd for things being centred?

It's just you - a visual illusion because of the lettering and the thin bit of the f - Ali @fatcreations has it down to the mm 8)

whats the rivet thing on the head tube?

Headtube has a bolt on boss for dropper guide - I have one on the other side for the rear brake to avoid annoying handset/crown rub from routing down the downtube

Like that - very clean and simple looking (in a good way).

Hardtails just look so right with normal tubes/

Not sure a brown saddle and brown grips would suit it

I worked with Adrian before he left to set up swarf - he's a talented guy! That looks perfect - clean and simple! Like that a lot!

Although - some of his carbon stuff is awesome.....
