Weighed it very professionally on the bathroom scales today and came in just under 24lbs with pedals.
and yes i know the washing line isnt straight and the patio is dirty!

Yep, 2.1" tyre and saddle angle fail!

I'd love to try a Mojo though, they just look 'right'!

Frame looks nice in that colour.

Got to say I agree about the red tyres though, and why have you attached a washing line to your handlebars?

ok ok point taken on the tyres. I've only just put those on for summer after changing from 2.25 nobby nics over winter!

i don't know, i like the way they co-ordinate with the watering can. do you take it on all your rides?

Beautiful bike, but i agree with above regarding the seat angle and the tyres.

BUT it would be a shame to get rid of them since you appear to have matched the noir crank to them!

I have just put fire xc's on mine for summer and I have been amazed at the performance, they really are a good alrounder... but maybe you should go for the black side walls...
The frame looks like a beauty...

bird bath is a long way from the bird feeder...

You took off a 2.25" Nic and replaced it with a 2.1" tyre which weighs more? Odd choice!

I'd get some 2.25" Ralphs on there sharpish!

dano - i didnt think the birds wanted to have a bath straight after dinner!

njee20 - the panaracers roll faster than the nics hence the change. i've got some old rocket rons in the garage though as well so might try those instead, should make it a bit more tasteful!

oh and the saddle angle has been changed, in those pics it had only just been put on.

I'm a big fan of Rons, more grip than a Ralph whilst being lighter. Don't last that long though, mine are pretty well cut up and visibly worn after a few months use.

Everyone's giving you a hard time, but the bike is awesome and I am sure its faster than $h!t off a chrome shovel...

The tyres are fine and it's a very nice bike, don't let these guys manipulate you into changing your tires.

They're all experts at coercion on this site, or think they are. Plus if your looking at your bike all the time or worrying about how it looks ? you might want to consider simply enjoying riding it.

VERY TASTY!

so, with a tyre change we're generally in agreement the bike gets s thumbs up?

njee - rons are awesome but puncture really easily i found so i was using slime tubes which seemed to defeat the object of a light tyre!

dano - thanks for the comments and yes the bike is very very quick for what it is.
