desf - yep, I know it's a cheap frame but it's a great ride.

will - I love Brooks saddles...I can see why somepeople don't though.

Nope, I preferred the original setup and finish - really sorry, but being honest.

It was infinitely better looking before I'm afraid.

I really like the look of that brooks, what model is it?

the revised bike looks a lot sharper, not sure if I'd go for it though

the Brooks is just a B17 - I think it's their cheapest one. Have ridden one for a few years on the commuter - very comfy.

buzz/str - no worries! I would love to say it's less camp in real life....but it's really not!

Point your bars down a bit at the rear and move the Carlsberg can off your lawn.....

sc-xc - I wasn't dissing the frame, not at all! I love the clean look that an ebb gives.

I have one of the 'new' Dialled Bikes Love/Hates on order.
