Thank you everyone for the messages

Looks great in grey - never got on with the top tube graphics

Lol. Me and 95% of the planet didn't either .

It does look so much better sans graphics

Thanks almost entirely to this thread I'm now the owner of a black Faran off the Fairlight Outlet site... whoops!

Haha!
Did you get that 61t?!
Looked at that for ages but wasn’t sure if it would be a smidge too big since I’m only 1.89m
There were some good deals in 58 a while back but I was too slow.

Also glad to hear I’m not the only one who thought those graphics are rank.
My pal has the really nice metallic purple Secan but those dots seemed a bit pointless and ugly.

No - have been keeping an eye out for a 58R for ages on either a Faran or a Secan and one popped up and was snaffled this morning! Now wondering how and when I will explain at home that I've got another bike...

(already have a 58R Strael, so assuming it will be a good fit!)

How's the build of the Faran going? Looking forward to seeing it built up, such a nice colour - should look amazing. My black Faran's having the parts swapped to it from its donor bike next week, so should be up and running soon - can't wait!

I have just about everything I need for it here, well at least to run it single speed. I have a raw silver Thomson 50mm stem that is nice match in a mock up with the silver headset and clamp.
Got a black Tubus rear rack on the forum thats a nice close aesthetic match for the Spesh Pizza rack up front. I'm home alone with my kids while my wife is away so probably won't be ridable until next week...

Nice, sounds ace - was also thinking about a Tubus rack to replace the boring one that will be switched onto mine for now, put up some pics once all in situ if you wouldn't mind, useful for inspo! (you're not going silver on the rack, though?)

you're not going silver on the rack, though?

Aye this did cross my mind. I have a silver, well its more greyish stainless steel, Tubus rack on another bike but it has dynamo wiring run through the tubes of the rack it's self. I thought about putting it on the Faran but can't be arsed dealing with cutting and re-soldering the wire!

In my head the black rear rack will look nice matching the black front pizza rack.
I'll get a pic of it mocked up here shortly!
