Big thanks for the kind comments, promise to get some proper snaps this weekend. @ShutUpNoRest, it wasn't slow shipping but my living in Belgium and my mate building these in Buckingham that made it tricky to pick these up. If you're lucky enough to live in those parts, Pierre at A1 is a complete wizard. Dude studied engineering and sorts Dan Bigham out and has a load of lathes and interesting gear. "Won't work" simply isn't in his vocab and I wish I was nearer.
I took this around Regents last night and had a massive smile the whole way, London was looking glorious and it's a real treat to get out on old stomping grounds. Real kicks zooming past city boys on £10k + bikes and then tucked in behind a 5th Floor lad who smoked us all but let me pull the easy turns on the down hill bit. Honestly the position is racy AF with an (excessive) 130mm stem keeping things long and low.
Gonna keep this as my UK bike (need to start a petition to get Eurostar allowing bikes again) and it may motivate me to come over more.
