So I just gave mine its maiden ride into my work. By rights the saddle should be higher, as should the stem, which would necessitate a longer steerer, i.e. new fork. Just the standard Pompino one or possibly the Kaffenback fork cos I like the black look. However the sizing didn't feel like a real issue as I was riding it. Maybe I'll wait tunil I fuck up my kneesd/ankles/arse/wrists/neck/back before sorting it.
Kind of half way there. It was an educational weekend. I've learnt Sheldon's full chain clean method, learnt how to set up cantis (still a bit of squeal), learnt how not to fit a headset and decided to take it to the LBS.
I still need to wrap the bars and before anyone points it out I know the cable housing around the seatpost is too long. I've also got mismatched levers on (one silver Tektro one black) because I accidentally bought both and still can't decide which looks better.
Oh it also needs guards (black Chromoplastics) and I have a Tortec rack to apply.
