Frame was bought on Thursday and built up today. To be used for racing next year.

Built up with XT and EA/ EC 70.

Bars will be changed to a flat soon and wheels will be changed early next year.

Nice bike. Presume it's light.

You shouldn't let your wife store household goods in your workshop. It's the thin end of the wedge. ๐Ÿ™‚

Nice work Steve
You going to have a crack at the Brass Monkeys on it ?
Get a quality chain stay protecter on it , keep the carbon from damage .
Nice set of lightweight wheels ( sub 1500 ) and that will fly uphill

Forgive me if I'm wrong but is it 'that' frame ๐Ÿ˜‰

Looks great and nicely put together.

It is indeed [b]'that'[/b] frame.

I must admit that I was unsure of the add on EBay when I first saw it, but it was your reply to [b]'that'[/b] thread that convinced me that it was genuine. Than you, I now have a great looking bike. Out on it for its first ride very shortly. ๐Ÿ™‚

Edit; Stuart was a very nice and friendly person to deal with. Wish it was always that easy.

I had those wheels for a while, dead strong and light too. I only changed because I needed 20mm up front and wanted tubeless.

Glad it's gone to a good home. At least I had the pleasure of having a good gawp at it. ๐Ÿ™‚

You'd get much better sound if you moved those speakers further apart.

Rob, I think two of the brass monkeys clash with cyclocross and as it's the shop that I ride for who's organising it then I will be doing those.

rOcKeTdOg, been meaning to repot it for ages, thanks for reminding me. ๐Ÿ™‚

joolsburger, speakers are part of a docking station so can't. Sound is still pretty good though.
