    Very nice!

    Did you agonise over the colour scheme as much as I'm sure I will when I eventually add one to my stable?

    Yes and no, first one was the wheels, deciding between black or silver, didn't take me long to decide that would mean too much silver. The second one was the bar/stem colour combo, spent many hours looking at various other bikes that were silver and decided to go silver bars and black stem. But that was the only areas I was worried over, but I think it's turned out alright IMO.

    Funds allowed the purchase of a Rockshox reverb 2012, and boy what a difference does it make. Won't go back to a fixed seatpost.

    Took her over to Hamsterley when the weather was brilliant, and here she is sat at the top of Transmission.
