  • Its hideous

  • My work here is done.

  • 10/10 etc

  • It's not that bad... is it?

    Edit: rear mech looks a little uncomfortable. Lengthen chain a bit?

  • I'm only joking, it could be quite nice with a bit of feteling.

    But yeah needs a couple of extra links in there or some careful dicking around with the B screw.

  • I concur, that rear mech looks like it's under duress.

    Otherwise not bad, even factoring in the welding (welder was clearly working on a piece rate).

  • And a new seat/post/rear light solution. @lardboy do you have any geo information on the frame? Have been trying to get an answer from planet x for weeks, they don't list any measurements on their site.

  • The chain length is right for big/big +1 link, and the rear mech was from eBay, so I'll have a little mess with adjustment and see if I can get away with it. I've got a spare chain, so I'll pop that one on instead if necessary.

    The fact that it still has a light an a bell makes me laugh. The seatpost etc is fugly but works, even being quite comfy on longer rides when on the Boardman.

  • Nothing other than what's on the site. Anything you want me to measure on a medium frame?

  • Thanks a lot, but I'd have to get it in L or XL anyway. Weird how there's nothing on the site and they don't answer emails.

  • {was on wrong page - have seen previous chain comments!]
