Off to Chatel a week on Tuesday, been faffing about building this up over last week. Some new bits, some second hand off here and ebay etc. Had shock Pushed and new improved damper fitter to Lyrik. Cannae wait to hit some of those Alpine descents on it...feel free to rip the proverbial, well chuffed with it. I love bikes!

Those pedals look pretty heavy to me, they kind of lower the tone of the bike.

I like that a lot. First time I've seen an XX chainset used with a chain tensioner. Looks like it will be a fun trip.
