Yeah. Looked at it again today in Photoshop and then remembered my monitor wasn't calibrated. Still... I remember the colour well enough so I'll stick with it.

just go with it, it's a good choice.

I suppose selling the Bob Jackson would be idea since you're going to use the Robin Mather for everyday riding, right?

bit of both by the look of it, massive ring needed because of little wheels

this is some nice red paint...

nice. bars need levelling, though! imo.

As in, levelling the land. You know... levelling. n00bs

I don't follow, what's wrong with that ? to angle of the bars is an ergonomic thing though, right? I think they look just right. [/devil's advocate]

If he tipped them any further drop the angle between them and the stem would be too sharp. If it were a deep drop track stem I'd agree, but for a road quill like that I'd say it was just right. Jus sayin'! :)
