Today has been a long day, after setting off at 3am UK time for home I finally got home at 7pm. Very long tiring drive home via The Trailhead in Shrewsbury to pick up the bubble gum bomber
Shit built picture outside in the dark, better pictures will be up tomorrow:
Need to adjust a lot of things on it tomorrow but its built and will have its first outing tomorrow. The DBA will be landing this coming week.0 -
That looks amazing.

Wow that's really nice! Don't discount your current shock just yet though- you may really like it! Get the grips to match...0

No that looks awful. Poor you. I tell you what, to save you the hassle of taking it to the dump I'll pick it up for you and dispose of it safely 0

Yes I need some magenta or aqua grips to match but I cannot wait for them, going for the first spin on it tonight.0 -

Thanks for the nice words everyone. Im looking forward to getting out on it later
Now its light outside and all setup ready to ride here are a few better pictures:
New rear tyre has arrived as this one is falling apart
I have to say the internal cable routing is exceptional. Clearly a lot of thought went into it, no fishing around in the frame for cables makes a pleasant change!0 -
Oh good lord :shock:

All the nobbles are falling off in the middle and the edge. 3C compound on the rear is not recommended!0 -
First ride out on it and I have to say it does not climb too badly at all, not noticeably worse than the Bronson IMHO It pedals well too. The debonair surprised me hugely, very plush and felt quite endless in its travel, that was very unexpected. Descending its very, very good, as expected. Pedal strikes were quite frequent, it just means I will have to take more care peddling, thats just the tradeoff of the low BB height though.0

It should pedal well.. It probably only weighs 11kg
But seriously that looks awesome, bet it's rapid coming down0 -

Its a little more portly than you might imagine

Very pleasant to look at but definitely different grips needed even if they are just black.
I am greening up. My Bronson C looks mundane in comparison!Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.0 -

Grips have already been sorted, just waiting for them to arrive. Its a shame as I love the grips Easton bought out recently and they don't do them in the colour I want :oops:
No way a Tennis yellow Bronson can be called mundane 0 -
Thinking about keeping the Debon air? Or still going for the Cane Creek?0

Lovely bike Rick! It doesn't really get better than that. If it was me though, i'd be getting some Hope E4 brakes rather than the XTR . . .“Don’t buy upgrades, ride up grades.”

Saw a Nomad frame in an LBS yesterday. Absolutely beautiful in the flesh (not that it isn't in photo's) and not as heavy as I'd imagined.

Thanks!
I gave the Nomad a rest today and went out on my Venge to help clear the beer induced hangover from last nights drinking antics!
Going to go for a quid blast on it in the morning before I go to work.0 -
Grips have arrived and it looks far better.
