Frame arrived yesterday afternoon and it's now ready to ride.

All parts from the BFe, except from the wheels have been transferred and the weight difference is significant. Let's hope it rides as well as the BFe.

What do you think?

Before it gets noticed, yes, I do need to trim the hoses!

Very nice! Although that moss on the pots and paving is putting me off 😉

Thanks, not sure about the weight.

The frame was only 1480g and the wheels/tyres were over 450g lighter thanking set on my BFe, so I guess just over 20lb's should be about right.

I lied about the weight, it came in at bang on 21lb. Not too bad!

I agree, the chain does look too long, but it needs to be like that for the 2x10 to work well in all gears.

Gear cables on, hoses cut down, re-beld and ready to ride. Really excited!
