Can't remember if this has been posted but it can be posted again.

Lovely. Bet that Arc'teryx bag's worth almost as much as the bike, too!

£65?

Matt finish and that blue reminds mee too much of mash histogram, although might be nicer in real life

Lows... Yeah, they're pretty nice, but seen one seen em all, no?

Each to there own I guess... it's only like every Mash, Leader, Bianchi etc.

Only difference is it's hand built I suppose! Either way I couldn't be happier! The geo feels a lot more aggressive then the mash...

Love the blue and black, but sort of agree with the "seen one, seen them all" point of view. I'd flipping love one though if I had the money.

Ah, so sorry! didn't realise they were readers wives...

if I actually had one I'd be mad haps and posting it up everywhere probably

And yeah the fact they're hand built puts em up a level for sure

I'll just shut up for a while

Tp88 - What size is your frame?

Looks sharp mate, bet its quick off the mark!

Wondering what the effect is of having an extra 0.5deg (over the mash) head tube for quicker handling, but then a 5mm less (than the mash) rake fork which will slow the handling down a tad, but with the tight as fuck chainstays and higher BB...?

Love to hear how it rides in comparison once you've had a chance to give it a good thrashing, certainly looks like it'll enjoy it almost as much as you!

Bloody nice frame.

I hope that LOW skids better than the Bianchi!

If your going black stem and post then to be slightly different from the norm dont do Thomson, try something else.

zipp service course stem and compact road bars are win!

deda newton + deda dritissimo sestpost is win win!

just saying thomson often becomes first choice for many peeps but there is more out there. the seatposts do rock tho.

KCNC is a combo breaker.

Kcnc?

HHSTTB

Just looks like an old TT bike to me.

Kcnc?

Yeah, 235g stem+seatpost.

Thanks man. It's a 57 cm frame, Was stook between 56 or 58 as i'm used to smaller frames having ridden a 56 fuji track for 6 years, S1 at 58 givesn a lot more power so i'm hoping between the two ill get the power but with the twitchy responsive handling I like!

off topic. Tp88, i know you are up that way and am making an assumption that you may have some of restrap team kit? I dont want to look like a pro team wannabe and I like to promote UK stuff over here. It looks good with simple design and isnt too expensive plus my four years in Bratford has given me an unjust softspot for it.

just wandering about quality and padding etc. would rather an honest opinion rather than a salesman answer! :)

i am aware of this ;)

Yeah it gets worse as I'm a team rider the marketing pitch will be pretty biased.

I tested out the protoype when I went on my travels through france with TM and Canadian...

Honestly it's one of the comfiest kits i've ridden. You know how some companies offer maybe three different types of comfort pad? obviously with the price going up the higher the comfort value of the pad (sorry if this isn't making any sense)... Restrap sits in the middle, which for the money I think thats brilliant.

The sizings pretty good too... I'm 6ft 1 and with past bib shorts i've had the braces pull on my shoulders creating saw strap lines, this isn't the case for the restrap kit. I did a bit of a hidden review in one of the North Race posts as i'm a little lazy to type it all up. I'll be in full team kit sat and sunday none the less as i want to do some good miles in and around the city so give me a shout if your about and want a better look.

But yeah... Answering your qustions in a simple format. Quality is cracking. Comfort is cracking. Nate has a lot of pride in all of his products and he wont let anything go out that isn't 100% quality.
