Is that really a bike? Looks like Litespeed fobbed you off with a farm gate

I don't think those valves are quite vertical enough Mr D

It's because I'm at least a reasonable height!

Well I doubt I'd fit that gate, but I think we've been through this before and I've concluded my frame fits me fine, since my CAAD9 does and they're the same size, Paul Hewitt seems to think it fits me anyway.

I'm far from dumb, I just know the frame fits me, since Paul Hewitt knows better than you will likely ever know. :roll:

Heh heh, ironically the 'new' FSA Carbon one is heavier and less stiff...

The Thomson Masterpiece is amazing! It's now on my Look...

Did you run out of bar tape

Those bars look very odd, I'm sure they're pretty comfortable though?

They do look odd but are the most comfortable bars I've tried by a country mile!

greasedscotsman

Is the profile of the bars round? And how stiff are they? I had a pair of carbon Eastons a while back which felt like they were made of jelly!

EKIMIKE

Does Gaffer tape make good bar tape?

In all seriousness, looks very good with all matching colours.

I will never like Gold chains though.
