oooh that lovely! I REALLY want one of those frames after having a Groove for years. Where did you get it? How much was it? What size is it and is that proper headtube badge or a sticker?

10/10 I love it! Though I would have gone for lighter wheels 😉

The frame was £429 delivered. PM me & I'll pass on the details.

I got the wheels through a friend, they will be changed when the funds allow.. 😉

IMO 29ers need to be different....I have my 575 & Rock Lobster to be "normal".. 🙄

You got to let me know how you get on with the bars. Because the thing that gets me is how far they come back on themselves i.e the grip area is right back past the steerer column....not that I'm doubting that Jones bloke.

i think you've gone over board on the bar tape for my taste, but that's personal preference, looks good, please post to [url= http://www.flickr.com/groups/1653857@N21/ ]the 29er owners club on flickr[/url]

That d* h* sticker has to go. Unutterably smug.

Like the colour, not much else. Does it ride well?

The Brooks would look so, so much better if you chopped it. hate the flared edges on the B17.

The Brooks would look so, so much better if you chopped it in half and replaced it with something less flipping retro.

Like the frame colour and the contrast with the hubs.

The rest of it is, well, astonishingly ugly. Sorry but it is.
