Sorry to hear this, I actually saw it first on Road.CC's Twitter feed so it's clearly getting around!

I look forward to the new version, still, a shame you have to make a new one!

And here's the replacement frame, finished off a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot more straightforward building it this time around!

Just waiting for the last few bits to arrive so I can do a test build. Provided that all goes well it'll be off for paint in a couple of weeks. Kept things similar, but I changed the rear dropouts for socketed ones that have a double eyelet, and I added rack bosses to the seat stays just in case I ever need to run a rack. I also decided to try an externally butted seat tube with removable clamp rather than a sleeved joint.

Just started on my fourth frame. A fast road/gravel tourer with disc brakes and a tapered CF fork. Not for me!

All built up and I've taken it for a spin this afternoon. Very happy with version 2.

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:

```
Your code goes here
```
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.
