Not been able to ride it since building it as knee has been dodgy since last cross race. Bit of sunshine this morning though and had to get out. Bike was lovely, knee seems pretty much better too which is nice.

Ahh the pink pansy returns !! 😆
Glad to hear your knees better, and yes the weather here too is rather lovely..
When you back gets better, slam that stem please sir 😆
I'm too old for a slammed stem these days 🙂
That Pigeon Tower's one for the 'Aaaargghhh my eye' thread or Royston Vasey.
Aren't we all 😆
What does it climb like??
Not a new bike but a great day to be out for my first proper road ride in a very long time

"I can see the sea from ere'"
Where is that!?
hhmmm i am currently toying with the idea of respraying my bike pink. This is helping.
What does it climb like??
Much like any other bike with 93kg of lard sat on it 😉
I like the bike, but the pictures are lovely, very jealous sat in the office!
"I can see the sea from ere'"
Pfft. It's been known for the Isle of Man to be visible from Rivi!
Wow, where are these pics taken?
Edit Google is my friend!!
Still, Wow though! 🙂
Looks rubbish.
Yup, was dreadful Lee
Shocked house is shocked by level of pink.
Brilliant .. : )
(not seen that building before in case it's a well-done joke for locals)
Bikebuoy....'it's over there between the land and the sky'.
Stunning photos (yours too @mike) and I love the fact that you Northerner's don't call it Dovecote Tower, that's far too posh eh ? 😀
Who are you calling Northern?
@mike photo - that's the top of Mt Wellington, Hobart, TAS. Used to be one of my regular road climbs too when I lived out there. Beautiful spot! 🙂
Very jealous. Just got my first cx bike (2nd hand bargain experiment off here).

But, can already see one of those Trek's in my shed if the experiment goes well, it just looks so 'right'.
I love the fact that you Northerner's don't call it Dovecote Tower
That may be what its called where you're from ladee. Oop 'ere It's the Pigeon Tower! 😉
Lovely day for it today though. Wasn't bad last night either. Not half as soggy as expected
