Is that the Blue and yellow Lost Lad that was reduced and sold out for £400 ish a month or so ago, or a new one for 2021?!
Not seen a new one online yet?
2020 one:-

I've been riding my Roadrat a fair bit since sticking gravel tyres on it. Despite the gearing restrictions of the Alfine it's proving quite fast on the right bits of trail (i.e. where it doesn't run out of gears). I've had quite a few Strava PR's on it and tonight even managed 11th overall on one segment (which I will be going back to have a proper go at sometime soon, although not a chance I'll get close to the KOM time). I'm going to try and have a proper go at it on my Epic as well, to see which is faster.

where the rear wheel is positioned at the moment (which is fairly near the front in the slot dropouts) then I wouldn’t want to go much wider as there isn’t masses of clearance
Obviously you get more clearance the further back in the horizontal drop out you position the wheel. But moving it messes up your brake set up.
So today I Araldited a 10mm hex nut into the front of each drop out to act as a spacer. Hey presto, perfect alignment and a 42mm smart Sam fits easily. Very pleased with myself.
