After months of waiting for the C2W scheme to arrive I gave up waiting.

Picked this up tonight from Buy a bike in Charnock Richard

18.1 lbs

Just need to bottle cage, lights, computer and pump and it's ready for the ride to work on Thursday and Friday.

I was hoping to try it tonight but it's lashing down.

Ooooh, that front wheel looks mighty close to those chainrings. I reckon toe overlap could have you off at every bend in the road......only joking mate, it looks lovely. I bet you'll love it.

Is it an all carbon fork? I thought some forks (Easton IIRC) recommended a max of 50mm of spacers. I assume this is a temporary measure until you have sorted the correct fit.

Agreed, stem inverted/spacer stack epic fail!

Looks nice though.

Yip full carbon fork.

Just manage a run up and down the street and yip bars are too high.

alterations will commence ASAP.

it came form the shop like that, so i'm assuming that length of spacers is OK.

those bars *are* a bit high, or is it a DH road bike?

and your tyre logos don't line up with the valves

Also it is nigh on heresy to take a photo of a road bike in anything but big ring at front and little sprocket at the back - its just not right ๐Ÿ˜†
