Very nice, any idea on weight?
Bagstard - not very accurate, but the bathroom scales indicate around 27lb. I was conscious of weight, rather than fanatic!
ACE!
proper burly looking 456 carbon.
I would loose the big ring though. Personal pref but don't see the point in them. You can shorten the chain more then, too
Love it mate I really like the graphics. Am tempted but have a Bfe and running out of roomin the garage!!!
Is your rear mech a short cage one?
Get the chain onto a normal gearing you can actually use and then see.
That chain is just not right. You measured big->big while bypassing the rear-mech, right? Just from looking at the pic I'd say you could lose at least 2 more links from it.
Nice bike though 🙂 I think the frame looks nice enough that you could [i]almost[/i] forgive the graphics. I was very tempted to buy one myself a couple of months ago, after seeing PeterPoddy's stealth one.
i think i have the same kettle
I quite like the graphics. Bit different.
Has anyone mentioned that your chain... 😉
Well, all. Cwmcarn is riding well, and the bike was flippin ace. Chain now 2 links shorter, and saddle somewhere between the two pics above.
Ride is very direct, and it feels really light up the hills, as you'd expect. It also comes down very quickly, too. Not too harsh, either.
Not sure i've ever ridden Cwmcarn that quick before!
Awesome, glad you like it.
Nice one. Nothing better than building a bike and it riding really well, huge buzz!
