Really like your build. Good looking bike (except saddle, but comfort does out weigh aesthetic), the talbot builds I've seen on here are really swaying me to give Matt a call. Just to be a boring sad twat, any idea what the finished weight is?
To also be quite sad, we did weigh it before leaving the shop. 8.36 kilos without pedals (or bottle cage if you're being really fussy).
The groupset's obviously pretty light, but didn't go superlight on wheels or anything. Also the frame geometry will mean it won't be the lightest of Matt's builds - sloping top tube, etc would get that down further. I had to go for more traditional geometry to allow for my t-rex like proportions,
Never thought a Ti Swift would be so controversial... I genuinely like the way they look as well as the comfort.
What sort of frame are you considering? Definitely worth getting in touch with Matt and talking over options.
My only regret was that I took so long purchasing random bits of groupset off ebay that I've only just got it ready to ride as the summer appears to have come to an abrupt end.
