I'm quite liking that.

From what I've heard they're excellent bikes. How are you finding it?

Do you ride in that gear? your chain-line must be pretty ****ed! Those forks are way to long, looks proper daft to me. Now don't get me wrong, i have a X bike, and carbon rigid forks on my SS but i'd never, ever try them on the same bike. Horses for courses and all that....

I don't usually ride big ring, top end of the cassette no, and the chain is way too short. Not sure about the forks being way to long either, that's a possible, handles ok though.

Zedsdead, it seems pretty quick, would have liked another couple of spacers under the stem, but that's an uncut steerer there, so I'll just see how we get on together

Nice bike apart from the pink cables and the jacked up front end. Nice frame, nice forks but don't look good together. I thought road forks were around the 370mm mark, so 420mm is a big jump, steering must be very slow. But as long as you enjoy riding it that's the main thing.
