@Borek and @young_gun yes that will all be part of V2, but this is the first incarnation, which is gonna remain ratty - if you have some cheap forks that are better than the "limp dick" carbon ones, let me know. The brakes will come off of course, but was trying to stay safe for the steep downhills around highgate last night - plus the internally routed cable for the rear brake was already in place, so I thought I might as well keep it. @Hefty hehe... only just noticed the levers drooping there- my cockpit went completely haywire in the death TT at Norths b-day drinks as I narrowly avoided a car at speed, so it was all a bit out of sorts! @HHC gussets coming for V2 as promised (see post #1), but I might do some cut-outs of the different possibilities to allow for some voting on how extreme to go with aero webbing... thinking something around the chainstay may now be more in order given the messiness of the ends/dropouts area (5 bolts on each side now!)
Unfortunately that would have been more expensive, so I just got someone to put struts on that distribute the stress along the stays. It doesn't actually look as bad as you would think... more pics later.
