    Mine's a disc brake frame. Do I need front fork and rear seat stay attachment points?

    Sadly it depends.

    What axle diameter are you running?

    If it’s QRs it ‘may’ not matter. Through axle I have no idea. If you have proper fixing mounts you probably have more options but careful the disc doesn’t catch on the arms.

    It's QR's.

    At >£70 per set I'd want to be sure I could fit them before shelling out. Maybe I'll just stick with my raceblades and have a mucky face and chainset when it hoons it down.

    Plastic guards just cannot withstand an urban commute. Not my urban riding standard anyways.

    That looks very nice considering

    A your grass is in need of weed killer to deal with the broad leaved weeds, has too much thatch leading to those yellow dry bits and could do with a cut before you get started on the rest of the foliage. and moss.

    Just about acceptable if its because you've been riding your bike

    if thats a bike for dirty wet roads and a utilitarian purpose , why on earth build them with carbon braking surfaces?

    Hmm some of the pointing on the brickwork isn't uniform either.

    Sorry but I thought that the bike was a bit too blue with that bar tape on it (mind you I also thought that Kinesis earlier was a bit too black as well so what do I know?). Nice mudguards though

    Exalith =/= carbon.

    I bought those wheels off Cheebay some time back as spare race wheels... I dont seem to be able to kill them off so that I can conform to a commuter conformity.
    When I do trash them I might even go down the carbon exalith route... it's cheaper than paying for and running a car.
