Just asked if he has anything in pink

Lots of other colours go well with pink...

Such as my bike

Rain has stopped although I'm sticking to gravel and tarmac until it's drier.

Cleared a climb I always struggle with, hill climbing is paying off!

 

[pink poodle]

Looking good. I note you have hidden your pube explosion of rear cable...crafty work that.

 

[Ultra Lord]

I’m digging the colour matched bottle.

 

[HamboCairns]

Just couldn't help myself could I? I did avoid sections of standing water though and didn't go too fast.

It's going to take a while to get used to this front wheel weighting posture but overall I'm really liking it!

SMITHFIELD WORLD CUP FINISH LINE:

That looks like a super cool rig @HamboCairns

Shame about that scratch already.

 

[HamboCairns]

I'm not sure if I like those pedals yet, they don't seem wide enough, are there wider ones than the Nukeproof Horizons?

Not falling for that one

What happened to the stanchion on your fork? Looks like a lot of discolouration in the front on photo?

Dare say a bit of the grease from the new innards working it's way out during the break in.

 

[HamboCairns]

Anything bad here?

 

[pink poodle]

^ your focus...? It seems your camera has done what mine does and deliberately ignored what you want to take a photo of and got a crystal clear shot of your ground.

But yeah...the stanchions on a new fork like that should be high gloss still. Tha doesn't grey blurr look good.

Anything bad here?

Feet aren't in focus.

 

[hifiandmtb]

It's the bike equivalent of a crotch shot.

Bingo!

It really is everything I wanted!

The only upgrades I'd want after one ride are a tubeless conversion (I have a tub of Stans at the ready!) and taller bars, maybe a 38mm, perhaps a couple degrees more backsweep. The Nukeproof Horizon bar sounds ideal.

If you have 31.8mm dia bars now, don't bother changing to 35mm. Just get bars with more rise.

I'm not planning on changing diameter (which would also need a new stem), just a higher rise bar (38mm).
