It does, via the link. Very tidy. I'm reminded - not in a good way - of those longitudinally sprung saddles.

This might be of value re posting images in Google Photos:

Edited to add: yes, the link works, but your more recently added embedded image does not.

No pics. On hols at MiL's place in France.

Treated myself to a Triban 100 gravel road bike from the local-ish decathlon, to keep here as a holiday bike.

Just back from my first ride: it's brill. Basic but brill!!

Spec here

With a change of saddle I'd ride it all day long. Slowly and maybe walking up the bigger hills

Very nice to ride, more to follow.

Intriguing shiftr/bar setup. Please tell us more.

[Jakob W]

Metrea, I'm guessing - was this OEM or built up from parts?

[Ham]

Yes, it is the Metrea groupset, I will be posting more pics when I get the chance.

Basic makeup is Genesis Croix de Fer titanium frameset, Metrea groupset & handlebar, Thomson stem/seat post, Cambium Saddle, I built the wheels, H+Son Hydra on Hope, Hope BB

[Ham]

I can't remember being as excited over a bike for a long time

And it rides as well as it looks - as long as you like its looks. That bar is a revelation, appears to be ideal for commute. Much more comfortable than a flat bar, or hoods on a drop. first indication is that it isn't as good for "honking" but that's not an issue for urban London.

ETA  link to Google album hopefully fixed

[PaulF]

Very nice!

How do the shifters work? Looks from the picture as if the left one is the only shifter? Does it control front and rear from a single lever?

[Kim]

I'm digging everything except the wonky seatpost.   

[Ham]

The wonky seatpost does say Thomson Elite on its side though; you would very dig it if you could see the engineering (it is ovalised inside!), plus it actually works better to give you layback with two screw fixing - most layback approaches result in a single screw fixing.

The shifters are on paddles in the apex of the joint between brake and bar, it's a very natural position to use. Shifting action is well up at the ultegra quality. The pure "Metrea" concept would have been to create it s a 1x, but I thought that would have been a waste, so I went 2x

ETA - the action is the outer/lever swivels for change down, the inner paddle button for change up.

It is a very pretty thing! Especially loving the H+SON rims, I'm eyeing off those for my n+1.

[Sergeant Pluck]

Very nice indeed, Ham! The sort of commute machine that can only be deployed if you can park your bike in the office.

[zigzag]

tidy looking bike, happy commuting!

Very nice to ride, more to follow.

I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

[Jurek]

Very tidy.
I love the clean lines of the Metrea chainset.

[ElyDave]

And, from the ridiculous to the sublime, I picked up the Ron Cooper from Argos this morning and have been bolting it together all afternoon.   You won't see another Shimano 600 tricolour groupset that good!

Wow, I'm not a Shimano fan but it all looks brand new, NOS?

That rear mech outer cable looks a bit too long though.
