I built this one for me for wandering around on and off road, and also to put my TIG welding skills to good use. Fave moment on this bike - riding those converted railway tunnels outside Bath.
It's Columbus Zona with a Kinesis CXD fork and colour matched Portland Design Works mudguards. Paint is metallic grey with a petrol (that not-quite-turquoise blue) top tube detail. Paint was by Cole Coatings. The TIG welds were finished with a very fine coat of 55% silver brazing rod that was sanded smooth.
It's a pretty standard 54cm road geo, with a 550mm effective top tube. The frame has headtube-mounted gear adjusters, and it's eyeleted for a rear rack if you fancied putting one on.
Saddle height is set to 730mm in the pictures
Spec is:
Columbus Zona tubeset, Kinesis CXD fork. Paragon machine works dropouts
Hope headset
105 5800 mechanical groupset, 50-34 172.5mm chainset, 11-32t cassette

Charge spoon saddle (I have a couple of Fizik ones knocking about if that's more your thing)

No pedals at the mo, but I think I have some XT SPDs in the loft I could stick on.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
