Some nice lines.

That looks smashing! Although I can't help but notice that your rear wheel magnet looks a bit wonky?

Like the way you decided to throw about a couple pebbles to add to the scenery.

Very nice! I hope you can keep up with me on it.

I've got the dogs to thank for the artistic touch with the pebbles
Thanks for the positives, I'm itching to get out and ride it - if only the frost will ease up a bit!
I'll update the thread tomorrow
@gaanrowl - you bet

Fantastic I'm looking at a fondriest after settling on a storck a few weeks ago but monetary situation went downhill so had to hold back on the purchase! May have to look at fondriest in the new year because yours looks great!

Cracking looking bike, I have an 9 year old Fondriest and would love to have a new one, although have struggled to find a uk stockist. May i ask where you sourced yours from please? Thanks.

Are you missing cable ends? I never like to cut the cables until I've got ends within reach - they start to fray easily even if well cut. I leave them coiled up until everything is sorted.

Or have you soldered them or something?

You should be a detective

I've got ends, just not fitted yet.

I'll do it before its test ride tho....
