Few months old now, some bits off my old bike too. Spacers under the stem are due to a couple of slipped discs in my lower back, not mad keen on the look of them but I'm riding again! Posting it up [s]because I'm a complete narcissist like nearly everyone else on here[/s] just for the hell of it! Comments on state of plant pots, grass growing through patio etc welcome....

Looks good, does the green theme only extend to the grips and seat clamp, or ar you planning on headset, skewers etc.?

I just got a flux in the same black ano and love it!!

And as this is STW I have to say something negative:
1. people on here dont like white rims, (but i think they look ok on that)
2. Front brake hose looks like it needs taming a bit?

Like the colour co-ordination of grips with patio grass.

It's the little touches that make all the difference eh?

Your lawn is trying to escape!

Don't worry yourselves about the lawn, I've since got the wife to sort it. None of my mates like the grips but they're all fules.

Obviously doesn't show too well in the photo but the headset is a green Chris King Inset and my frame is in the grey gunsmoke ano. Few other bits of green ano dotted about, would like a green CK bottom bracket but that won't happen until the Hope one on there gives up.

Wheels came off my old Marin Wolf Ridge. Not usually keen on white rims myself but like you say reckon they look alright on this. Would really like green King hubs with black or grey rims but wallet says no, boo.

Can't see much advantage in trimming the brake hose to pull it in an inch, can't be arsed anyway!

It's quite refreshing in the bike world of hydoforming madness to see some straight tubes, still don't like 5the spots though
