Built up of a fine selection of nearly new components with the odd new part chucked in- my first foray in to carbon.......

    6'3"- I have a giant defy that is taller at the front so I am feeling a little creaky at the moment with this more racy bike, but I am determined to get flexible for it!

    Had mine for a year and half now and really like it.

    PX are good to deal with too.

    WIN!

    I may be about to be an annoying 'know it all ' a-hole but did you know your back right brake block is seriously out of line with the rim. Probably not the best braking performance and will probably damage the rim over time.

    Nice bike though. Mike

    So much progress and we are back in the stone age in digital image, worst than a pin hole camera...

    You need a carbon seatpost!

    Would have been great a pic of the complete bike.

    Do you have short torso/arms?
    That is a very short stem on this frame for a 6'3" bloke.

    I like to sit up quite high as I have a bit of a creaky back- so hence the short stem. Once I am a bit more used to it I might get a longer one. I do not have hugely long arms so it is not too cramped.

    Apologies for the standard of the pictures- done on the phone. Not prepared to explain to the wife why I am posting pictures of my bike on the bike equivalent of 'reader's wives'!
