Surely you'd be more comfortable (not to mention able to use the drops better) if you rotate the bars down and the shifters up?

Need to sort me bars out though.....a few more pics

oli2001

Too eager to get it built and rushed the bars. will sort out for deffo. realised within first 100 yards but didnt want to abort first mission

Looks nice.. but you need to get the red version of red

oli2001

yeah, would have been perfect, but picked up the full groupset off here for a great price, so had to go with the flow!(yellow)

Looks good.

What did it cost?

Did you have to pay import duty / VAT?

oli2001

cost £410 for frame, forks, seatpost headset & bars (including £35 for painting + £55 for posting) so about £320 for unpainted frame, could have had it unpainted in any carbon finish; UD, 3k or 12k weave, matt or gloss. The areas in the photo that look black are actually 3k carbon weave gloss; looks pretty ace close up.
Wheels were £430
Paid £8 import on the wheels and £35 on the frame, Got them to price up very low value on the boxes.

Lovely looking bike !
Did you buy the frame and wheels from a web site ?

Enjoy your new bike.

frame and bits from miracle trading and the wheels from farsports. Loads of positive reviews etc online. My experience was excellent with both companies.
