    Looks very good, nice and simple. Could probably do with cutting your steerer tube though ;)

    Hi,
    Yeah steerer needs to be cut once I get comfy at a height I like, cheap and nasty spacers look a bit naff right now.

    Spec is

    Genesis io frame
    Race Face ride seatpost, bars and stem
    Juicy 3 brakes
    LX front and rear hubs with Mavic 317 rims
    Fireye singlespeed cog 16t
    SLX BB and cranks 32t
    Specialized the captain tyres
    Specialized grips and saddle

    Will probably need to play with chainring and cog sizes a little too.
    Cheers
    Steve

    I like it a lot. even if it is gear light. smart move with the steerer too, no rush to get it cut till you know exactly where you want it cut.
