Hi all,
I have recently decided (October 2012) to start building a bike from scratch after 6 years away from the scene due to family divorce blah, blah blah......
Started with the purchase of a Kinesis Pha5e frame.
Anyway the point of this e-mail was to say thank you to everyone who I have bought bits from on this forum, and also for their help and advice, it has been appreciated. More bits needed, followed by some stupid questions when I eventually come round to fitting them 🙂

Cheers 🙂
I'm looking forward to getting it put together and riding it!
Also is there some way of given good feedback to sellers?

yes very shortly 🙂
Good luck with the new bike. Just don't mention on here that you like boobies or winkies...
Hi OP, the Pha5e is a great ride! I absolutely love mine, both me and my 9 year old son use it to blast on. Very short wheelbase so it's great for twisty tracks. I've put an FSA seatpost on after I found the Tompson too stiff. It really helps when seated because that back end I so stiff. You can fit huge tires in the back end, I'd recommend that for the same reason.
Show me yours and I'll show you mine!

Kinesis pha5e 16" frame fun to chuck about, solid and confident........due to my height (6ft1") this means on the journeys to get there, and the odd commute to work its just a little to small for me 😥
Going to have to get an 18" frame for all duties......and the 456 summer season should be right up my street........updates to follow..... 🙂
That looks RAD (geddit?)
