Sooooo, I decided to bring the bike back into check, it was getting pretty scruffy and generally miles away from what my bikes are usually about, so now my riding's back up to scratch, it's the bike's turn!
Take this;
And after about 3 hours, some spraying, bolting, masking and painting every spoke individually with a tiny paint brush...
Looking good again
Small spec update too, now running a 90x10* Thomson X4 with Trialtech High Rise bars, and some skinny grips courtesy of Mark.
Also feeling pretty honoured to be running a Clean sticker fresh off the Dymo on my top tube, which i figure will give me at least 6" on my bunnyhops.
Comments welcome, and Dave - i'll get that pivotal soon!
Oh and once again, thanks to Tarty and Mr. Westlake for being heroes.
