£1200 for the frame which had never been built up, rp23 shock. Yeah pedals are dodgy and need replacing! Like the option of flat/spd though.
Grips are ergon lock ons.

Wow! Just been out for a quick 14 miler, flick the pro-pedal on and it climbs SO well! Flick it off and it really flies back down again! Well happy, just going to go and wash the sheep s**t off and inspect for 'Christening Ride' scratches!

Grips are purely to stop wrist pain, to much of something in my younger days!

Liking the Nomad, far to much bike for me though!

those grips came on my new Cube that Mr MC kindly bought me for my b'day and thought they looked horrible and "special" however when I started using them I realised how good they were and really comfortable unfortunately they still look special!!!

The Blur looks fab. Just bought the new shape one having come from a Nomad which I also loved.
Have fun and ride it hard. Oh, and polish / fettle it well also!
