The Real Pedant
RIGHTEO! So, I've finally finished the updated build! Took a while to get everything together, but I managed to hold out installing anything new until it was all here! Enjoy the updated bits after the initial stuff!
Well, over the weekend I've carefully & lovingly moved everything over from my old Glory8, to my lovely new Pivot Phoenix Frame Can't wait to get some dry weather to get her tweaked & dialed!
There's a few upgrades & tweaks to come, to lighten her up a little more, such as cranks, wheelset & tyres, plus a few little custom bits & pieces, but all in all I'm super stoked to be on this baby!
