    Is this the insurance replacement? It's possibly prettier than the Scenaro so turned out alright in the end.

    Yeah the insurance gave me the value of the Scenero frame and I put in the extra bucks

    very nice indeed

    the only reason you don't think much of the photo is that you didn't have bright sunlight - nothing to do with the bike !!!

    With that frameset it's hard not to look nice. Looks the business.

    wow, nice again. It looks really long for your saddle height, are you shorter leg/longer torso? Your saddle is on the forward side on neutral.

    From an asthetic point of view, you picked your frame size well - no spacers look pro.

    What did it look like with the wheel decals on? Did the yellow/white ruin the whole look?

    Stunning.

    Only let down by an alu brake track - it'd look even better with all carbon rims or the new SLRs with the black brake track.
    More problems but still living....

    Thanks mate, yeah I have quite short stumpy legs and a long torso. Simular shape to Clyde the orangutan off 'Every Which Way but Loose', but the bikes fits me perfect. The wheel decals needed to come off. Made the bike look way to busy with them on.

    Really pleased with how its finished though and the ride is beautiful.

    Edit post:

    Sorry amaferanga, for some reason I thought you were talking about the new all black Ksyrium SLR's in your post yesterday (had them on the brain recently)

    Yeah the new black Cosmic SLR's are cool, but they worked out about £400 more which I didn't have at the time though.
