The paint really is rather good, especially like the head lug/tube/badge combo.
Winston stuck one of those struts in with my frame, what a nice chap he is.
I always get out the saddle on climbs, can't do em sat down for some reason, maybe I should go an easier gear and try it, then again maybe not.
Looking forward to a southern ride when Boris lets us all come out to play again.

Went out this afternoon and the sun came out for about 30 seconds so I got off and took a photo. Love the colour in the light.
Thought I'd try out some steeper lanes to see what the gearing can do, and almost got up Brasted Hill without having to get out of the saddle... which is a result in my book! Just that corner near the top that got me.
The tyres also got a proper testing through some floods and over all the crud the rain leaves behind. So far so good.
Feels great to get out and about on it after a busy week.
