Very, very pleased with this. Photo when it came out the box, I've tweaked the setup a little so far and am still fine tuning so will put up some more pics soon.

I've had it nearly a month and took it to South West France for two weeks, the bike is superbly comfortable and very quick. Much fun indeed, I highly recommend the Burls experience.

    Very, very classy! What hubs are your Archetypes built on? Some Veloflex tan-walls would look superb on this . . .

    Finely judged - and Man's gears too. Nice.

    Loks nice, although the setup looks odd. I'm assuming it's custom? The seat tube angle looks very steep, and you're running an inline post. It's almost a TT seat position. Any reason for this? Have you had a professional bike fitting?

    the hubs are unbranded Ambrosio and have been great so far! Maybe when I replace the tyres.... :D

    Well spotted, I had a fit and the geometry is based on that but I ordered the seatpost in a bit of a rush so it could be a mistake. That said, it has been fine so far. it might be good to try one with some setback just to feel the difference.

    Thanks for the comments, I'm seriously chuffed with it anyway.

    I do like it a lot... I was about to drop you an email to ask you how you got on with the wheels, but you seem to enjoy them... great stuff!

    What's the groupset?
    I'm left handed, if that matters.
