Oh my ! That's nice. Thought I'd given up on road bikes, but I can definitely see the appeal of a CX bike with disks.

Prefer the green though.

I was stuck deciding on frame colour, but this one came up at a price too good to miss. Anyway, pink wouldn't have gone so well with green 😛

that manhole cover rather spoils your lawn.

I like the bike, though.

Well a girl has to have a matching wardrobe, erm I mean bike colour schemes, matches my Blur nicely. I'm wondering if I can get someone to make a support plate with a bottle opener on it too??

Sadly the man hole cover is for the over flow drain for ones lake

Apologies for the Swan crap too

Is initially disappointed, I was hoping for something more along these lines.

Nice looking bike though.

Only been around the block a few times (something else popped up so couldn't go for a long ride) so can't give a fair review yet, brakes need a bit of bedding In. But, so far feels a lot more stiffer than my Voodoo Limba, in a good way. Should get out for a decent ride over the weekend sometime after work

What size frame and how tall are you? Humming and arrhhhing about one of these myself but can't decide if I should go compact and chuckable at 54 or more stretched and roadie at 57. I'm 5ft 11. Nice build by the way.
