Thar she blows!
Couple minor things to sort out - the 18t cog I bought is wider than the DMR one that came with the conversion kit, so there isn’t a combo of free hub spacers that works. I just chucked both cogs on, using the 16t DMR one as a spacer for now. Should be ok. But a bit annoying.
I’ve got a pair of SPDs to go on, but still waiting on shoes to arrive, so I just chucked some random flats on from my touring bike.
White saddle and bar tape is not my first choice, but the saddle was cheap (I didn’t realise it was white), and the tape was a freebie from @fizzy.bleach - it made me laugh as it’s filthy before I’ve even ridden it as I was to impatient to wash my hands before putting it on.
Also, it had a bottle cage with seized bolts on the DT. I hammered a torx bit into the rounded Allen bolts and hey presto, both the bolts snapped off. Lol. I just wanted the cage gone, so no real complaints.
Righto, best go ride the fucker!
Ps, look at that lovely floor.
