• Got some bits from the LBS and took it for a spin in the park. Getting rid of that saucerous rear sprocket is a priority, but the gearing is good so now looking for a smaller chainring, if anyone has one. Maybe its a case of getting used to them, but found the Notto risers a little narrow and with too much sweep. Also feel I want a longer, horizontal quill stem for it. Ordering matching front tyre today so won't have the missed-matched wheels for much longer.

    Clearance on the fork.

    Obligatory hound shot. We went racing. He won.
