The tyres ruin it IMO (wants something without a stripe and a touch bigger)

Also, to make the most of your Maxle fork, I'd have 31.8mm oversize stem/handlebar on there too

Lackof stem clamp bolts on the back gives a pretty good chance its a thomson elite? (25.4mm)

The wheels are too small.

Looks fast! It's a bit bright for me, but I'd certainly ride it! Nice fence!

Yeah because a 25.4 Thomson stem is flexy - what a load of boll ocks!!

As pointed out the tyres are bogging, get those off ASAP.

The saddle needs adjusted, no-where near level.

Was the rear brake hose too short to route it properly? I don't remember seeing these bikes with the hose going straight from the bottle cage boss area to the chainstays.

It's all in the details!

Black tyres would finish it nicely, apart from that nice bike!

Tyres, grips, saddle & the yellow sticker on the seatpost - just wrong-diddly-wrong-wrong!

Other than that, fine ๐Ÿ™„

Brake hose was to short its only a temp thing its fine the now.I am not sure what brakes to go for. The sadle is the way I find comfy. I was just happy to get it going and will sort all the imperfections in time. Appart from all that it rides very well.
