1 - The Train to Isen
So we are moving to rural Scotland from London, but I will still be doing some work down here in the week. I would normally use the Train as my winter bike and my work bike, but I can't do that now as Work is now a fair bit further away from the lanes I would ride my winter bike on, hence the Rourke as a new winter bike.
The Train will stop down here and continue to be a work bike and mid week riding bike, until @coldharbour gets off his arse and sorts these Isens out. Then I will probably move most the decent bits of the train, Wheels, lights, rack, gaurds, stem and seat post over to the Isen and that will do work and mid week duties.
This will then leave the Train as a frame and bits, that I will move up to Scotland and do something silly with. As the clearances are enormous and forestry roads plentiful, I might go full monster truck gravel eater with it, for pure lols.
Right, so with the Winter Rourke finished, its time to start working on that ^
The Isen frame is actually being built to schedule, so I've ordered the groupset.
I've gone for 6800 Hydro as its not a vanity project, I need the bike rolling pretty much straight away and also I don't believe that the R8000 shifters will be delivered in October, as promised.
Ordered so far
Bits from Train to move over
