Does that picture embed? - I've never been able to do that...
Anyway, by no means is the build finished (tape, cables, pedals and it's crying out for a black seatpost), but this is the first of the frames I've made that I've actually built into a bike... and I've just ridden it around the block... and it didn't collapse!
I can't really describe what it's like to ride, it's pretty light though, as I was just chuffed that it didn't give me a faceful of tarmac as I dropped off the curb. More miles to put on it before I feel completely at ease with it I guess!
