The bike now has black tyres.
It looks better.
Sadly the seatpost that @aroogah had in mind for me was too girthy. Real shame as it had previously belonged to @50/14 and felt special for that reason. RIP Paul.
So it seems that this particular Columbus SLX frame takes a 26.8mm post. I have found a lovely, shiny, aero one on t'bay and should have it soon.
In other, less good news, it seems that I have bought handlebars from a company that has a reputation for reliability similar to that of David Davis. Race View Cycles...
I have re-ordered from Evans and will chase a refund with RVC. Ho-hum.
Hoping to be riding this by next weekend. Maybe by Wednesday evening.
