There's not much I'm doing from now on I'll get the shocks tuned ready for spring next year add a pro pedal valve onto the rear and buy a new seatpost. The brakes are great and the SLX front and rear mechs don't miss a beat so pointless touching them until they break.

    Nicely done. Good choices there for upgrades, looks very well thought out.

    Those Rubber Queens look like they come up bigger than 2.2. Do they? or is it just the pictures that make it look that way.

    They do look bigger than 2.2 don't think I'd get the 2.4 on the frame.

    I was looking at the model above this but couldn't come to grips with the white and blue combo, Yours is quite nice though.

    Thanks got this on offer as a ex demo bike and spent the extra on upgrades, even though I said I wasn't.

    I need a set of those chris king hubs
    gorgeous looking bike but I would replace the seatpost with a tomson elite
    I assume this is French petrol - be careful in reverse - the car will retreat rapidly at the least provocation.

    An Elite seatpost is on my shopping list
