My current bike, built a year ago and seen plenty of abuse since, but only just found this section! Couple of small bits have changed since the pictures, but nothing too major.

    Is it a really really bad thing that I want to ride your stiffee? :lol:

    Brilliant spec, almost identical to how I'd have done it myself.

    thought you wanted a pitch???? :P

    nice bike mate, loving the white frame, and i notice you're running a dt rws skewer, ace bits of kit they are.

    that DT RWS is it the 10mm bolt thru conversion? any comments on these - can you notice the difference? ( jeysus i just asked a guy about the stiffness of his stiffy!!)
    For the muddy - Boardman comp frame ( to match the roadie) running saint/ fox
    For the blacktop - Boardman Pro Carbon

    It is the 10mm bolt thru. It was built as is, so I havent used the bike with only a skewer, but the back end is stiff as you like and havent had any trouble from the bolt thru at all.

    Lovely bike.

    Suggested getting a Stiffee to my wife but she suggested a Handjob instead. Sorry, just had to be said.

    Got my chinese scales through this morning and quickly weighed it before work.

    29.6lbs!

    Have to say I'm a little bit dissapointed with that really, but at least it's built to last.
