Some pics of the new bike.  These were taken in France, just before it was shipped.  I am very excited.

wow!!  Is that an integrated seat post? Looks quite long...

Yes it is.  Not sure about the length, will look when it arrives and let you know.

Clearance for mudguards and how about a rack?  ::-)

Most certainly is as the frame and forks only weigh in at 950gms. 

Goodness - almost as much as you! :o

I may need to add a bit of weight to anchor me down.

Might I humbly suggest a few tubes of double-butted 531 to replace that carbon nonsense?  Should make a useably heavy frame ;)
Getting there...

Again? I didn't even mention the seat post!   :-X :-*

OD is right. A nice kick stand will finish things off nicely. Oh and flat, black plastic, pedals with the reflectors built in. Perfection.  ;D

And probably best to go fixed wheel with that - less mechanical, more reliable.

There will be lots of room on that step for all of you.  I suggest you stay there until you have something sensible to suggest and only then return if you have some tasty PB and Marmite sandwiches, neatly cut and served in the usual manner. ::-)

Hell Annie - is this for timetrials - or is it an audax bike - or is it just bling?

Integrated seat post ? What the F*** is the point of that?

I have just moved my seat post up about a millimetre  - why  --  not sure - am I fitter from all the Oz riding? Dont know. But a millimetre higher feels right compared with last years sitting on a jig working out optimum position.

But I could not have done this with an integrated seat post  - and what happens when your friendly local bike mechanic saws off a spit too much at his first go?

Puzzled Rog - and if it is naughty step for me too - then I suspect that I am in good company.

May I lick the marmite off your cleat please Annie? You know you are always welcome to the custard on my spotted dick.

I tell you what - this thread gets tantalising this time of year, as people's asperations start to become realised in bike form.

Annie - You'll be flying around East Angular with that.

Wowbagger - Ditto, it's already flying.

I think I need to get a bit faster before I even think about doing a TT.

Not true at all. Find a friendly club and just do it.

Honestyly chaps O:-)

Good question Roger, I will answer later on my return from the LBS ???

As for Mr Wow, I fear there may be consequences for you tomorrow.  Isn't it time I got the clippers and the hoover out again? ;D

I like custard but you will not see me anywhere near a spotted dick of any kind :sick: :sick:

Very, very nice Annie! I am envious. Now that demands  O:-) a double only though!  :P ;)
