I was toying with squirting a bit of foam down there, it seems like a better option than waiting 4 weeks for Wiggle to faff about with it. I might just do that when I have it in the stand next.
@user65399 The finishing kit is Ritchey Comp - fairly standard and relatively good. Not carbon, but then, this bike is coming in at sub-£500 so for it to still have Ritchey stuff on it is impressive. I've swapped the saddle and seatpost out for Thomson stuff on mine for comfort and fit, but the stock stuff isn't bad.
As for the saddle, it's a Fizik Aliante R5. Bloody comfy and apparently a £100+ saddle on its own.
Basically, it's cracking spec for the money, even if it does come with a free bit of metal in the chainstay.
