Glad it's worked out well - welcome to the YACF Kinesis fan club!

Thanks, glad to be a part of it!

I'll convert to discs later in the year once parts have been assembled and wheels built.

Here's a photo of it on its maiden voyage:



Also worth noting that the guards are now attached to the correct lugs on the front fork and I'm no longer using the crudcatcher plastic band-on lugs. 

Also the red electrical tape has been replaced with more aesthetically pleasing black tape, I'd run out of black at the time and only had red left!

Now re-cabled and re-taped.  Shifting is now super-smooth.

Handsome machine - nicely done!
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

Finished & delivered the London Road on Saturday. Si S, you were correct about the stem length. I swapped it to 120mm and dropped it down about 15mm. Customer test rode the bike at dark o'clock on Saturday and said it was everything he'd expected.

I have some photo/puter issues just at the mo but will post them ASAP.

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.
