Thanks to Garage Bikes in Morley for their help, 19.5 pounds on the shop scales for a sensibly built 59cm steel bike 😀

Black bars, rim & stem?!?

SILVER MAN, SILVER! 😀

You Sir, are a cad, a mountebank and a charlatan.
You should be whipped through the streets like a common dog.
Never, ever darken my trousers again.

Seriously though, it’s lovely.
Which model frame did you go for?

A nice build I like that.

Ooh thats nice – not far off my ideal road bike actually

(What does the extension on the right hand brake lever do? 😕 )

EDIT : yes I’d go silver though…

It’s all my old kit Rusty and the bank of Ben is empty 🙁 as time passes all wrongs will be made right

I’m only being daft mate, it’s beautiful. 🙂

It just looks “right”, I like the black finishing kit as it shows off the frame’s proportions better.

Never thought I’d see Quattros again!

Good bike that, slam the stem sonny, slam the stem.

Looks too nice clean, should be covered in road grime by now.

Tell us what it rides like, is it twitchy on the front?

That bears a striking resemblance to my Salsa… Looks like a really nice bike! Has all the things that don’t make me wince! A proper Aheadset, reynolds 853 steel (I think), handbuilt wheels…

Only thing is…are those REALLY Time Z Pedals on it?! …the horror! :o)

are those REALLY Time Z Pedals

Hm. I thought they were Quattros?

Nice. Will keep a look out for it/you on the mean streets of Leeds.

They are Quattros, not the most popular pedal ever but I like them; that said when the currently cleats wear out I’ve got a feeling replacements are no longer available so it will be time to change.

That’s a lovely looking frame, how does it ride?

I’d be pressure washing the green slime off those paving slabs before a baby robin slips on them.

Gets it first ride tomorrow.

I did plan to go out when I picked it up this morning but my wife says going to the bike shop was my cycling related activity today.

Ah well, she probably just wants to fill your now free time with lots of horizontal jogging so all is not lost 🙂

Light for a steel build and looks nice. Agree though silver bits when funding allows.

We’ll need a full ride report of course.

Classy. And stick with the contrasting black finishing kit 😉

I don’t know anyone who has had a bob Jackson & not loved it
