Well looky what postie brought this morning



After spending most of the day moving bits over from the Allez (which is now very light), I took her for a quick 16 mile loop.
Mudguards will be bought before winter, as will studded tyres, and I'll probably replace the rack with a proper fitted one (as long as it holds the panniers away from my heels.

Looks nice - Can I ask, how are the lights mounted on the front as they seem low down....
Any chance of a front on Pic?
I find it awkward mounting my lights due to the brakes on the top of the bars..

Due to those extra brakes (I'm sure they have a use, just can't see it yet), I had to rotate the fitting so it was completely under the stem (hence why they look so low). I get some photos of them on the CX when I can, but at the moment it's behind everything else.
