• Asked Woodrup to build me some wheels - silver Hope RS4s with silver CX rays on some alloy rims & ordered some R8020 bits for the groupset.

    Spent a some amount of time investigating seemingly every option on Madison to find any Shimano hydro road groupset in stock before September but no joy. eBay prices at the moment are nuts, but managed to find most of what I needed on Spa. I've been lucky with getting good deals on groupset before, guess my time was up!

    So far I've managed to get most of what I need without too much delay, but I'm fully expecting there to be a vital piece I'm missing which pushes back completion. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.
