As title really. I’ve owned the bike for two years which is well beyond my usual ‘new bike itch’ timeframe. I couldn’t find anything that suited me better than this and I’ve always hated the original paintwork, so a bit of a makeover and some geometry tweaks* and she’s good to go!

* 1.5 deg angleset, 180mm fork, moved to ‘high’ position. All adds up to 63.5 ish HA, 75.5 ish SA for those who care.

Looks great! I also get a new bike itch after 2 years. My problem is I tend to keep the old ones 😀

I think the pricing is very much based on what you are looking for. Probably best to give them a shout to discuss your ideas, but as a ballpark this was £900.
