Well done man. The bike looks interesting also, however a Panasonic would be super sweet.

Cheers for the congratulations all. We're dead chuffed about it.
Picking up the Leader tomorrow. Well impressed with Specialised's service - got a call this afternoon to say the bike was built a day earlier than scheduled, and I think £36 for assembly, replacing 2 spokes in the back wheel, new brake cable and pads is a flipping bargain.

That is good work. I like building new bikes though. Replacing spokes can go to hell.

That is good I love building bikes with a can of beer not quite so keen on indexing gears on a triple and truing wheels can >>>>>

Got the Bowery out for a scrub so I thought I'd make a quick update.
Since the last post she's got a shiny new thompson x2, eclat pedals with some Hold Fast, chain, chainring and fixed cog. Up next are some bullhorns, new lever, tyres and possibly a new saddle. You had a Fizik on your plug didn't you Mark? what was it, That was super comfy.

I think Mark had an Arione, if so they're fantastic saddled, only thing I preferred to the Spoon. Can't believe you haven't ruined those tyres yet, they're awful for skidding, clearly not riding enough ;)

Looking at pics now it does look familiar, might have to nab one. Enough? Try not at all! Very ashamed to say I've barely ridden at all in the past year, could count it on one hand hangs head any suggestions for tyres?
