Hey guys. Quite a lot has happened in the last fortnight. A week and half and two promises "they'd have stock in soon" from shiny bikes resulted in me cancelling my order for the SRAM brakes. I didn't think I'd find anywhere stocking for less than £50~60 (shiny had them for £35). And indeed I didn't for ages, but I stumbled across an Amazon "warehouse deals" listing for a pair of used ones for £21, in like-new condition. They arrived a few days ago and to my surprise were essentially new - miraculously the box hadn't actually been opened.
Also received the bars from Wiggle, and with that I built up the new cockpit. It was a radical change in general ride comfort, and the hoods felt great.
Still got a few tiny things to address (cable ferules, steerer tube etc), and I'm still playing with the fit, but this is pretty near the finished product.
