    Looks great! You really slaughtered the steerer, I love it! White cables are a nice touch.

    I have one too, it's my spare CX bike. It doesn't look great but I left the rear der's housing continuous from the TT to the mech. Shifts really well in all conditions.

    Is it a L? It looks a tad larger than the M/L I ride.

    More pix please!

  • FransJacques, yep, it is a Large, suits my 6' 1" frame very well, a very comfortable bike for mixed road/bridleway riding. Added some more pic's, it's dirty I know, but then again it is well used and I do keep on top of maintaining it:
