    Never mind the bike – what mobile did you get such good photo’s from?

    btw the bike is nice in a subtle understated kind of way 🙂

    Very nice – but the colour of the front brake hose is not acceptable. 😆

    thanks for the comments folks
    i had nuke proo bar ,stem and post as well but when i fitted the thomson silver stuff it looked better imho

    the mobile is just a standard sony erricsson w995

    Deluded i would have had a white goodridge on the front also but steve at i-cycles only had one in stock.
    the goodridge line was the only part i did not fit ( i feel a failure ) 🙄

    I actually like that… the yellow stuff works well on the grey, better than against the common black bikes IMHO. Has a bit of a Safety Tape look about it, but I like.

    Looks like Steve and Eliot sorted you out a gooden.

    Hope to see you/it around Inners… I’m a local boy. Keep an eye out for a minty green SC Superlight… or candy red Bullit, which I’ll be riding the uplift tomorrow on.

    Stoo mr deas actually talked me out of buying the yellow wheels because he does not like yellow !

    I suggested he go on a course to stop talking people out of sales !
    To be honest me being
    15 stone had a lot to do with the wheel choice 😆
    i have not been up riding much pro lapsed disc,work ,baby etc but im kickin keen to get back out

    Really like that. Agree about the need for a yellow seat clamp. Maybe different handlebars too?

    I like that….v nice to see a bike that’s not just silver or black

    IMO you need a pair of these grips

    actually mine is different to yours. yours must be the updated version, your chainstays and shock linkage look different. Same colour though, mine has the bendy stays. hope its not too flexy !
