Doesn't one of those have a PF BB?

No pressfit bb - Sentier is screw in.

Looks really nice - I haven’t seen that colour Sentier before. Hope you enjoy it!

I wouldn’t be tempted with a red chainring - don’t do that! I stick to steel sram ones as they retain the chain well and last forever (along with their steel cassettes).

I have to say, that looks really really nice.

Don’t overdo the red bits. Less is more. It looks ‘right’ as it is.

How are you finding those forks? I'm thinking of getting some myself.

You’re probably right there. Providing the grips are comfy enough I’ll probably just leave them.

Not been ridden properly yet, but they feel good just mucking around on the village. They’re very plush out of the box and will almost definitely benefit from a volume space or two. I was surprised at how light they are (took them out to shorten the steerer a tad because the Chromag stem has such a low stack height).

Managed to get out for a very quick and very wet spin near some local trails today in the Vitus.

Really quite impressed if I’m honest. I’m a bit of a bike snob and am suitable impressed. My last hardtaik was a Ti Switchback.

For £1,100 is really is a cracking bike. The fork is good (I’ve added a volume spacer and may add another and drop the pressure a bit), the Shimano brakes work and the tyres are good too. The Brand X dropper is a very pleasant surprise too.

It’s a harder bike to manual than my Scout but it jumps well enough and done any feel too still or crashy.
