It lives!
« on: 11 May, 2008, 06:42:41 pm »
Thursday I finally got the last bit mounted, tested and tweaked and it's now done an almighty 2 commutes and 1 shopping trip.


So far I'm loving it. Size is much more comfortable than the old one and it's superstiff without being overly harsh.
Many more pictures here:

Would it be inappropriate to comment on the tautness (or lack thereof) of the chain at this juncture?:D

Nice bike though  :thumbsup:

I would say that the tension in the flexible transmission device is slightly sub-optimal  ;)
