Finally up and running with this one, though still got a couple of bits I'm resisting upgrading unnecessarily just to colour coordinate :? Just the steerer to be cut down once I've decided where I want the stem.

    Nice mate, I've got the deity bars on my BFe, absolutely love them.
    Has your rear tyre got something reflective on it? Looks like a white wall in one photo, then normal in the next.

    Cheers guys! :D

    Tolk - did Llandegla Tuesday and today and have decided that 760mm bars are definitely too wide so need chopping down! Lovely bars though, quite easy on the arms, just make steering too slow as they are.

    The tyres are Nevegal Tomac dtc sws folding 2.35, with reflective reinforcing strip on the sidewalls. It's the camera flash that makes it look white. Great tyres though, not a single pinch flat when I've used them. Swapped the rear back to an Advantage 2.25 for a bit of extra speed but won't use anything else on the front.

    Father Faff Chain reaction have them, the picture looks a lot darker than it actually is which was lucky really as it's a much better match for the frame as it's a little more turquoise than dark blue!

    Following some kind words from 70\'SPenguin, I thought I had better do an annual update. This is pretty much how it looks now...

    2011-08-16074230-1.jpg

    Current spec;
    Frame: Cotic BFe mediium
    Forks: Rockshox Revelation RLT 140mm 2010
    Brakes: Elixir 5's in white, blue hoses. 203 F 185 R
    Shifters: SLX 9sp, white cables
    Headset: FSA Orbit mx
    Stem: Truvativ aka
    Bars: Deity D30
    Grips: Superstar - blue with white lockrings
    Wheels: Superstar AM 490, white rim on blue hub with ss spokes
    Chainset: SLX double
    Pedals: Shimano M530 in white
    Seatpost: one-one twelfty
    Saddle: on-one bignose
    Tyres: Nevegal 2.35 dtc F, Ardent 2.35 R

    Just changed the saddle to a Madison Flux in white as it is the same as a charge spoon, but without the orange lettering!

    Bars are ready to be changed to Funn full-on in 'horror white' 710mm

    Then finally, it is finished!

    Love it, if the soul came in that blie I'd definatly have had it, the pics don't do the colour justice.
