Almost there, a few bits to sort. Will be changing the crankset to a silver/grey Middleburn Duo when they have them in stock

i was waiting for that comment

do I get that alert that happens on QI when someone states the obvious :oops:

Front tyre needs rotating so the labels match... like the rear does. What happened, get lazy during the build?

monotokpoint

Damn it, I knew someone would spot that! I need to shorten the brake cables too (thought I would get in there first)!

Wow, nice bike, I like how the seatpost sort off, 'blends in' with the frame

Personally i'd leave them how they are - I've seen too many brake lines ripped away from levers when people have crashed and the bars have spun round. A bit of slack in the brake lines will stop it happening.

Rubbish. The tyres aren't even titanium, just some knock off rubber jobbies!
