Finally, at long last the steed if just about finished all bar (no pun intended) the arrival of the carbon bar ends tomorrow.

It's ment to be an all purpose compromise commuter/off road/training bike.

Started life like this, a second hand bargain I picked up for a few quid.....

It was dipped to strip the paint, dye penetrant crack detected, then powder coated, nice & thick.

After 1 set of Rockshock Dukes, 1 pair of Pace RC36 Stealths, I decide on rigid forks as I preferred more direct steering.

    Bar ends have arrived, and yes wifey, I promise that's it (until I buy that 1100gram Tomac carbon frame)
