    Fairdoos, it looks crap with the deep sections on, but of course aesthetics aren't everything.

    That C59 colourway has aged really well though!

    Cheers Shipley! Thanks for your post over at WW, looking rather nice if I may say so myself :mrgreen:

    Just done the bar-tapes today, the final touch - so hopefully get some decent weather & take some photos to post up very soon!

    You doing Roubaix again this year? Grand!
