    I wondered how many people would spot that :lol:

    Had to let the tyre down to take the wheel off so it would fit in the back of my car to get it home. It is fully pumped now ;)

    :shock:
    There is a little QR lever on your brake caliper, rotate it and the calipers open enough to remove the wheel!

    I guess you've noticed the lack of pedals, too. :!:

    I love white bikes... God knows why I bought a black one :oops:

    Yes I know... however, I guess the muppets at Halfords didn't. and set the bike up with the cams already down :roll:

    It is booked in to a local LBS for a good going over and a proper fitting session shortly.

    A year and a half on - how are you finding the bike? Back in 2009 had to make a 200-mile roundtrip to pick mine up as Halfords mu***ts couldn't figure out how to ship it to another branch down the road from me. Very happy I did make the trip.

    The best thing about the bike - of course the colour scheme Smile CB have upgraded the wheels in the 2011 version with the entry-level Mavics, not sure how they rate against the 2009 Ritcheys. Another thing that I like about the 2009 version is the SRAM shifters, not a fan of 105's that feature on the 2011 v.

    Any thoughts?
