It looks like a wooden frame but perhaps it is carbon fibre with a wood effect?

Meet the new girl on the block...




No slack chain here...





Another Brooks to break in...




Her horns...





All she needs now is a name.  I was thinking 'Kali' (which means black)... as in Kali, Slayer of Black Cabs   ;D

You may also have noticed that the frame doesn't bear the model name.  They've decided the Hanzo label looked a bit naff and they've done away with it.

Chain's a bit... Oh.  No, it isn't :D

Is that Brooks bar tape?  You leather queen!

But a pretty ride.  Hope it doesn't take long for that saddle to break you in.

I particularly like the uncluttered background. Are you a professional photographer by any chance?


I always like photographing people with trees and posts coming out of their heads. Well, that's what seems to occur with seemingly little effort on my part.

V nice. I actually asked, on the off-chance, for a frame without decals but it was a non-starter. I was pleased the Hanzo decal was missing but never thought to ask about it.

Did you specify black mudguards?

Here is one for the fixed aficionado's present ;)

Yes, it's Brooks leather bar tape (the photo's a little blurry).

And yes, I specified black mudguards.

And I know the backgrounds cluttered - not a lot of room on out little balcony...

They're ceramic water retaining beads from the plants that have been washed off the pots.  We sweep them up and repot them now and then...

I did ask for black mudguards at the time of ordering. They accidentally sent out upgraded wheels (which at the time I placed my order, I was told were out of stock) and let me keep them so I didn't complain too much.

If we had timed this better, could have swapped my black brake callipers for your silver ones!

Glad the Hanzo label has gone.  It was a bit out of keeping with the elegance of the Pearson graphics and frames.

btw, Pearson is my new lbs. :D

I must admit I was initially very impressed with the paint when I got mine out the box.
It's almost pearlescent.

When I next wash mine/ride it in sunshine I'll see if I can get some pictures that show what I'm on about.

Just a shame I managed a ruddy great long scratch along the top tube where upon I lent the bike against a post in the garden, although it appeared steadfast, it slid the moment my back was turned!
