Er about a month ago, around the 8th November I think it was. Came in in the night :(

Nice niiiice. I wouldn't bother with a seat to be honest, you won't use it really. f**k getting a seat for the look, just ride the thing. But that's a debate for another day :P
Anywho, looks damn nice.

And now it's been stolen :'(

Yeah well spotted! Clive machined it for me when he did the bike. He sold me the cranks, and machined them so that the KMC (wide) would fit, and took a bit off the outside for the 20t (Rather than the 22t). He even machined my spacers on the back down to get a perfect chainline. If that ain't service I don't know what is!
-
I was waiting for that. They are Echo Urban forks, and they work better than anything else really. So I don't think I need different forks really...
-
Yeah, that's right. Keep It Simple Single Speed (Tensioner). As far as I can tell, it works really nicely. It is possible to overtighten the chain tension (So the cranks won't spin), so it's not like one of these fixed tensioners that loses all tension after 10 minutes... It's good. Like everything on that bike. Except the back tyre which I may have to change already

Easton EA50's for the bars. Race Face Progidy stem.
The other bits you can't see are CK rear and Hope front hubs. Atomlab DHR rim on the front, RhynoLite on the back. And the seat is an old Orange one I've had lying in my garage for about 5 years, off an XC bike originally
Oh, and 26" tubes because I couldn't be bothered buying new tubes

And here come the vital statistics:
Wheelbase 1040
Stays 385
Headangle 74
BB +25
And it feels good. It's a bit of a weird feeling - it rides almost as long as my 1065 Koxx, but the head angle is waaaay steeper so the front end is really sharp. Nice on the front wheel, but a bit "jumpy" for wheelswaps and the like. Nothing I won't get used to though. The overall shortness makes it nice and flicky too.
Overall very pleased. Might put a shorter stem on it to make it a bit shorter for a more streety ride, but I'm happy how it is

Is that the old Leeson KISSS tensioner? What do you think of it?
-
What's the geo on that? And how does it compare (lengthwise) to the zebdi?
Plus is it just me that thinks that the front wheel looks smaller than the back?
-
Looks cool. Something's telling me there should be more pink, maybe spreading down the downtube more? Looks sweet though
Are they Hognesium pedals? How are you finding them?

That picture makes me laugh
