This is the Lurcher i've just built for my other half, she's been riding my old 26" Specialized Stumpy HT, but since she tried my 29er Scandal she's taken a shine to the big wheels, to the point where she's always trying to poach it off me, so I built this up for her:-

    Thats a really good looking bike. Reminds me of a Zonda, sporty and elegant.

    Looks nice.
    If you haven't done already, you might want to loctite the dropout bolts. I didn't, then they came loose. Since read a few threads (mainly on singletrack) about them coming loose so must be a common issue. Albeit always sorted with a bit of the blue stuff :)
    Saying that, these look different to the C456 in that mine bolt from the hub side out and you can't see anything on the outside of the frame. Might be worth a check anyway.

    Cheers ThePriory1978 she was very happy with the result...

    Thanks for the tip DodgeT, the bolts had threadlock on them and seemed to nip up pretty stiff when I put it together, but i'll keep an eye on things just in case.

    Very nice, love the way on that size frame that the toptube extends in a straight line down the seatstays.....
