I set the front mech as a make-do chain device but it dropped into the grannie ring in the first part of that descent. Yes, I should have been patient and waited until it was finished properly. Me bad ๐Ÿ˜€

Mrsmith- I bought it on 'tick. As with my Blur (14months) and Heckler (just under 2yrs) previously (also on the never never')- it wont get sold until my last payments paid on it! ๐Ÿ˜€

It rides err, abit 'fast'. Felt like someone who had just passed his driving test and been given the keys to a 911!

I know your a bit weird Mark, but WTF is that rubber flap about?
Is that what you stick your knob in now the frame is built?

18", 6ft2, GSOH. 70 stem- it feels spot on for me.
