Current Projects chat and miscellany

The most obvious sign of the misalignment on the boardmans was that if you looked at the drive train from above, the chainrings were in line with the small end of the cassette whereas they should be in line with the middle.
This meant that even in the small ring if you shifted above like halfway up the block at the back the chainline was horrendous and it was nigh on impossible to keep the chain on the front rings if you were at the top of the block at the back.
Does that make sense?

Was this the case on the majority of frames?

I've been looking at the Road Comp (the base model - alu frame). I'm prepared to basically rebuild the thing as soon as it leaves the shop too. I've heard stories.
