Really tempted with green hoods and green bar-tape, we shall see... trying my best not to upgrade parts just for the sake of it but when they wear out/break I'll get the porn parts on order.
Swapped the front wheel for another one I had and went for a ride, much happier with it this time round and managed to clock just under 40 miles. Spent some time tinkering with fit and it's almost spot on. Bars could do with going down a little. Don't think I'll be slamming the stem, certainly much lower than it is. Have to say I'm super happy with going second hand or used parts of my own on this build. I'm not hard on my bikes but it certainly feels nice to have something I can just 'ride'.
