Man hugs Boblo

Really chuffed with that, climbs better, descends better, absorbs bumps better, fits better. It's just ******* better.

Just a couple of hours to see if anything fell off and decide on maximum steerer length.

So much better on steep descents, oddly because it's more stable than my old frame I think I'm happier to chuck it about.

I was a bit disappointed that mine handled a bit slower that my '09 frame. I suspect I won't be when coming off the big descents in the the Alps as the old one felt a bit hairy.

Glad you like it 🙂

I soooo nearly pushed the button on one of those ! Instead I ended up with one of the Viner's from Planet X.

In the flesh, the weave looks absolutely stunning.

As its a Planet X, there's always something, and they've sent the wrong bb cable guide, so the cabling isn't finished yet.

Is that another with the stem upside down? Bikebouy will have a fit. Looks nice tho.

If Ritchey keep making reversible stems with reversible graphics, I'll reserve my right to use it either way 🙂

So I'm currently thinking of picking up one of these to replace my ribble and just transplant the existing campag veloce stuff over to this. The question I have is will I have any issues moving the existing cranks over as its a power torque Groupset?

BB is the standard Shimano press fit so if you have 24mm Hollowtech, you'll be fine.

Must remember to get a photo up, It's built but the hill road to work has been icy this week so it's the winter bike that's been getting out.

Yes, but it doesn't match your seatpost either!
