  • There's definitely room for 28s in there, which is good news for any future gravel riding.

  • Tasty Dom. Really nice. Good stuff.

  • Thanks, man!

    Taking out for a short-ish shakedown ride so shall give more of a report of how it rides.

  • Shakedown!

  • Totally lovely.

    May I ask - what is the the segment visible on the fork in the last pic?

  • Fucking rad bike, Dom! Absolutely love it.

  • To hold the hydraulic/cable housing, @Dammit had the same fork but with Oak painted on it instead;

  • Ah, that was/is a lovely bike.

    Field looks tiny on you. Is it an illusion?

  • Is it an illusion?

    I'm hoping that the fit haven't be dialled down yet as the alarm is ringing loudly in my head.

  • Don't worry, the fit is fine!

    The geometry was based on a proper bike fit (and geometry) by a chap who does bike fits/geometry and is a mechanic for a pro continental team here.

    There was a couple of things in play in those photos, both taken on the same stretch of road. I'm still quite upright compared to before my accident due to a (hopefully temporary) loss of flexibility and, due to 3 plates and numerous screws in my wrist, I can't put too much weight on that wrist. Once the plates are out, I can work on this point a little more.

    Plus, there will be a follow up fit to get the custom dialed to my current situation, too.

    Thanks for the concern though, chaps!

  • And thanks to everyone for the kind words!

  • Haven't you got a Ritchey Cross bike as well? It should be illegal to have two bikes as Radavist!!!

  • I do, yeah.

    Enjoying both a lot right now so fingers crossed I'll be able to give them both the time they deserve!

  • Thought so... I follow you on instagram... not in a gay way though mind... just for the bikes obviously! ;)

  • I follow you on instagram... not in a gay way though mind...

    Are you that afraid?

  • How do you follow someone in a gay way on Instagram? What would that look like?!

    I jest of course. Thank you for being interested in what is undoubtedly a pretty mundane Instagram page.

  • I follow you on Instagram, in a gay way. (And Facebook)

    Hope you don't mind.

  • @Johnnyw75 I'm reading your review of the Hail Seitan burgers in a gay way, that's okay right?

  • I thought your bike looked to small but i didnt like say . Seeing as my girlfriend has first dibs in a gay kind of way !

  • This build thread has taken an unexpected turn.

    In other news, should be getting out to the mountains for a longer ride this weekend which will, potentially, involve having an interval to dive into waterfalls and/or partake in going down a natural waterslide (probably won't take the bike in the water with me).

  • I really don't know tbh... but it sounded a bit gay when I was typing it?

  • Haha, yea that's fine @edscoble... not a bad burger at all if you're that way inclined

  • Wow. You just don't get it do you pal.

  • Can you please photograph and post all the bikes in your Buyers' CC please? It looks like there are some swag builds.
