Cutting the grass is a pain in the backside, I like the grass and the bike!

absolutely fabulous. When I went to the Gent 6 day last year with some mates we took a trip out to Eddy's factory and had a tour. There were some of his bikes and shirts in the reception and he even has his own cycle parking space!

The paint shop looked impressive and they still make the scandium frame to order. Apparently it takes one of their bike builders 39 minutes to put a bike together from scratch and they knock out 10,000 a year.

I came away wanting one but to date it remains the n+1

That's a lovely bike!

That's a stunner mate!

Cheers guys! Took her out for the first serious ride last night and I have to say I am well chuffed, being a little bit longer on the top tube that my Isaac it seems to fit me far better. The wind here is pretty strong at the moment and the ride I went on was fairly lumpy but I still managed to beat my usual time, what I love even more is that I have never seen one of these on the roads around here.

I think she may deserve some deeper carbon clinchers for when it not as windy. Should look pretty trick with some enve's or zipps, that may need some tactical bargaining with the wife!

Never a truer thing said!

Bar and stem look great with it- aero cockpit needs aero wheels like you said- a set of envies would look the mutts nuts
