Just need to source a front mech shim and sort the cable lengths out. Colour looks much nicer in the flesh than on on-ones website.
Had a 456 before, and am hoping this is the happy medium between that and the bmc.

Nice juxtaposition between the wall, frame and fence.

Feel free to slag the bike, but don't criticize the brickwork :evil:.

Needs either a black post or silver stem. Ooooh, and white grips!

Cant do white grips, need ergons as my wrist is knackered. Got a white stem but that might look nasty.

That's down to the wife, but she's been a bit busy having babies lately.

Not that bling. 16" slot dropout inbred, 6? yr old crossmax xl's, juicy 3s, conti/bonty tubeless, thomson post, ea70 stem, Ritchey WCS carbon bars, bel air saddle, XT/SLX cranks and shifting, Reba race forks, eggbeaters.

Thanks to mulletus maximus for wealding the spanners and Clive at bikelab for frame prep and expert advice/p**s taking.

100mm stem, although it looks long in the photo.

Does the 100mm stem and bent seatpost not indicate that you might have been better with an 18"?

No, i've got short legs and monkey arms. Haven't ridden it yet, i've got an 80mm stem on standby in case. Had a 16" 456 before and it was the same length more or less as my 18" bmc.
When i was fitted for my last road bike, it seems i've got silly long arms as i pretty much need a 54cm seat tube frame but with a 58cm frames top tube. Must be lifting all those concrete blocks stretching my arms.
