Calling time on fiddling - bikes going to be packed as soon as I get home this evening... Bit of a disaster last night, in my lunchtime haste yesterday I'd forgotten to fasten the drive side cotter pin - it fell out and was lost 2miles into the commute so I had to walk 2miles back to the office in bare feet (or risk trashing my cleats) - feeling like a cold coming on (and with rather sore feet). Managed to revive one of the mashed ones and loctited in place. Hammered home and took the hilly route in this morning so it looks like it's good to go.
Here she is....
Apologies for the crap lighting, there wasn't much natural light around at 7am, Didn't quite manage to shellac the tape to match the saddle, but not a bad attempt - hides the grubby stains from the adhesive..
There are 2 spare tubs in the nylon sack under the saddle, if I remember at bologna, I'll get a copy of la Gazetta to cover the unsightly blue nylon!
Overall a pleasing effect.
