Mercian

is that a can of semi-matt dulling spray?

mr smith, indeed it is!

i'm a photographer too, i hate dulling spray though it's a bitch to clean off.

nice mercian btw.

i have never really used it after the first time, as it is a bugger to clean off. came in handy for these shots though :)

Thanks man!

thank them!

So made a few changes and i am nearly there i think.

Just need to swap out the stem for a quill road stem and think about changing the forks and i am done. I have taken the bar tape of the drops above and switch between the bulls and drops.

Oh if anyone has a stem for sale i would be very interested.

what happened to the stem in the original photo?

got the drops on it want one for the bulls so i can just swap them over and would like a slightly shorter one.

the bike looks well confusing in the recent pictures,

I cant quite get your riding position , just looks awkward.

Also the bulls make it looke like its trying to be modern, combined with the kooky frame, makes it look like it wants 3 spoke wheels on it and a lumpy carbon fibre fork.

Looked almost perfect in your first pics, now im not sure....

I don't understand the shape of the headtube, and how the headset fits.

Seconded, looks a lot better with drops

the bulls are comfortable i have rotated them up as didn't notice how low they were.

i had tried a few bar combo's but like the bulls and drops for now.

The head tube is aero they seem to have built it up around the tubing.
