Finished it today and took it for about 30k ride today, mainly on road and bike paths, with a little bit of dirt. Took me a while to set up the v-brakes because the wheels are slightly out of true, but I eventually sorted them enough to ride it. The shifter and derailleur went on fine though, but I think I need a better chain. The bars needed some adjusting and same with the saddle. It needs a few other tweaks which I'll fine tune this week, and I managed to get one of the first punctures I have had in a while. I also swapped the pedals to some Time ATAC's for commuting.

Looks awesome. Are you not going to use a chainguide?

I'll consider it. I ran the same set up on the Cannondale Rack and never dropped a chain.

I like it! Raw and slightly evil-looking.

Got some new (to me) tyres from a friend. Wanted some more "road friendly" tyres and he gave me these Geax Mezcal's. Quite a difference between the old tyres and these.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
