well four visits to four different LBS produced no spanners, so it ended up costing me £6 to get them to do it, will have to pick some up online. Cost me £6 but also provoked a long discussion and plenty of admiring comments
Bit of a disaster on the next climb tho, as on a steep section the QR popped and the wheel slipped the dropouts, and left a crime scene-looking spread of chips of the lovely orange paint on the road behind me. Fortunately the damage is mainly to the dropouts and the inside of the stays, but still really annoyed at myself, schoolboy error.
And here is it, although a shit picture, it looks more orange than this. Its got a saddle and pedals from another bike at the mo, still have to decide on a saddle. Once I do I'll wrap the bars in leather tape, and I also have to decide on pedals. The stem and bar (Noodle) I put on, as the stock ones weren't silver (criminal IMO)
