It's tipping down here - so no outdoors shot until tomorrow, or more likely Sunday after looking at the forecast
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!! I like that a lot, looks way better than the red ones, maybe better than the purple 😕
I really like that. Nice!
That looks lovely, tempted to get my Mk1 Alpine reprayed that colour. Enjoy the first ride.

Thinking along similar lines but think i'd rather a colour nobody had, just can't make my mind up.
I love the colour, I wasn't too sure what it would be like - But my first word when i opened the box was "Wow"
Computer screens and crap photos by me don't do it justice.
Sitting looking at it now, I think the BB looks really high though, but Have nothing to compare it too. It may be because I have been staring at it for so long.
Need to get new white brake hoses and Gold QR skewers 😛
Are you renting the house?
Bike looks well to Hardcore for me!
Very nice,first time i've seen a kawasaki green Alpine.
(Doormat needs laying flat btw) 😉

Go on! Where's the first ride to be?

First ride will be in the Mourne Mountains on sunday.

Its a Gym class timetable, I was in a bad way when I put it up after a hard spin class.
Tea Towel needs incinerating before wife sees it, as I dried my hands after washing Post Bike Build and I only got half the filth off and never noticed before drying in said towel.
You have a picture of Jonny Cousins on your wall?
Been at the friday night build thing myself untill rain stopped play. got white strokers and xtr bits on now. First ride at the Costa Del Belvoir Sunday morning

Paving slabs need cleaning, nice wheels
IMPOSTER! Get out of here with your dull grey bike 🙂
Here Simon - I'll swap you those Dull grey strokers you flogged me for your white ones.
Obviously my bike is gonna look a hell of a lot nicer with more white bits on it to contrast the green and yours will look far stealthier with matching grey brakes...
PS - You need a garage/shed if you're being forced to build bikes outside. Or just tell her to STFU when she nags at you in the kitchen
And yea, the picture of JC - its a tribute to the great man and his many feats 😆
Optimistic aren`t you? Building it with Swamp things on....? Or do you live in a bog 😉
Got a red Mk2 Alpine this week - it doesn't feel the same as my Mk1 that had a virtually identical build.
The Mk1 was a 17/23", whereas the Mk2 is an 18/23" - and it actually feels shorter and higher, and less "sat in" than my original did. I haven't measured the bottom bracket height yet so that may shed a bit of light on things.
My bike build 😀 (this week)

Its swampthing season here!!
They've been moved over from the old bike. If you can pedal them to the top of the hill then why not enjoy the extra grip back down 😉
Lovely build Luke!
Fantastic looking bike. Got a PA myself but seriously tempted with an upgrade to an Alpine. Love the green as well.
i like! all green bikes are cool, i think this would be cool too

Well built, Barry 8) Let us know how your first ride goes.
Mildred, the top tube on your new 18" frame is 0.25" longer than your old 17/23 frame. BB height is the same. Head tube is 5mm shorter/lower. Hopefully you'll get the feeling of your 17" back once you've got a few rides under your wheels.
garage in bought, just waiting to move to the new house in December,
Kitchen was being used for cooking baby food, was allowed in today!
Gotta keep my strokers matching on both bike, plus white is faster
Cool colour, nice build.... are the bars on backwards????
