@zigbit A friend had a nice turquoise one I always liked the look of, but the rarity of this paint job is more interesting. Mine's pretty ratty these days, & have fully embraced that with the stickers!
Also, very well identified! Yeah, is that mud pit on the edge of the field by the gold course up to King Lane. Just about managed to ride across it, it's nearly always like this except for about a week in summer.
@MisterMikkel Good shout, I'll probably switch to Ergon grips down the line, does look better for the palm. All good advice, I remember doing a century fixed with wide bars & the worst bit was my wrists afterwards.
Fitted some mudguards & went for a little bit of trial-by-fire with laptop in tow (on-call sucks). Stayed relatively clean & didn't get clogged up until the last leafy bit on the way home, so count that a win.
