New VN Yukon.

Ok, so I finally made up my mind and bought the Van Nicholson Yukon
Specced it with handbuilt 105 hubs and Open Pro rims, for the winter.
I was going to get it with 105 groupset, but, after seeing the new Ultegra 6700, with the new hoods and no cables.... I couldn't resist
Oh and full mudguards, too!
Pick it up next week, can't wait.

I'm just back from a weekend riding the Ventoux. Blue skies, lovely and warm. Just perfect cycling.

I will mate, as soon as I pick it up next week!
I'm in the middle of the North Sea at present, so couldn't get a pick anyway!

Did you get it from Fatbirds? I bought my Orbea from there, very good shop but the owner can be a bit strange sometimes!

Ha!... I thought that, too!
Yep, that's where I bought it, very good service.... Didn't know they did Orbea's :shock:
He's just started to deal with Powertaps, reckons he will be very competative, once he sorts his prices out...
I pick it up next Friday, so will be going for a shakedown ride around Hunstanton. Never ridden up there before, but hoping to find a nice hilly (yes, I know it's Norfolk!) route.
I opted for a double instead of a compact, too!
I hope it's p1ssing down, too, so I can check out my mudguards. As long as it's not blowing a gale!

They don't normally deal with Orbea's he just happened to have it in(ex demo bike)
