    It's tipping down here – so no outdoors shot until tomorrow, or more likely Sunday after looking at the forecast

    That looks lovely, tempted to get my Mk1 Alpine reprayed that colour. Enjoy the first ride.

    tempted to get my Mk1 Alpine reprayed that colour.

    Thinking along similar lines but think i'd rather a colour nobody had, just can't make my mind up.

    I love the colour, I wasn't too sure what it would be like – But my first word when i opened the box was "Wow"

    Computer screens and crap photos by me don't do it justice.

    Sitting looking at it now, I think the BB looks really high though, but Have nothing to compare it too. It may be because I have been staring at it for so long.

    Need to get new white brake hoses and Gold QR skewers 😛

    Its a Gym class timetable, I was in a bad way when I put it up after a hard spin class.

    Tea Towel needs incinerating before wife sees it, as I dried my hands after washing Post Bike Build and I only got half the filth off and never noticed before drying in said towel.

    IMPOSTER! Get out of here with your dull grey bike 🙂

    Here Simon – I'll swap you those Dull grey strokers you flogged me for your white ones.

    Obviously my bike is gonna look a hell of a lot nicer with more white bits on it to contrast the green and yours will look far stealthier with matching grey brakes…

    PS – You need a garage/shed if you're being forced to build bikes outside. Or just tell her to STFU when she nags at you in the kitchen

    And yea, the picture of JC – its a tribute to the great man and his many feats 😆

    Got a red Mk2 Alpine this week – it doesn't feel the same as my Mk1 that had a virtually identical build.

    The Mk1 was a 17/23", whereas the Mk2 is an 18/23" – and it actually feels shorter and higher, and less "sat in" than my original did. I haven't measured the bottom bracket height yet so that may shed a bit of light on things.

    Its swampthing season here!!
    They've been moved over from the old bike. If you can pedal them to the top of the hill then why not enjoy the extra grip back down 😉

    Lovely build Luke!

    Fantastic looking bike. Got a PA myself but seriously tempted with an upgrade to an Alpine. Love the green as well.

    Well built, Barry 8) Let us know how your first ride goes.

    Mildred, the top tube on your new 18" frame is 0.25" longer than your old 17/23 frame. BB height is the same. Head tube is 5mm shorter/lower. Hopefully you'll get the feeling of your 17" back once you've got a few rides under your wheels.
