Show us your steel.....its real...

They do look gorgeous. I'm looking forward to seeing one in the flesh at http://www.bespoked.cc/ Let us know what you think when you get it.

I was going to visit Bespoked myself to have a look at them but they moved the event to London this year, much easier for me to go to Bristol.
I expect I will not be disappointed when it arrives, still not sure if I am going to ride it or mount on the wall

Butterworth completed. Was going to kit it out with 8 speed downtube shifters, but decided to take the 9 speed Tiagra GS off my Halfords Vanquish frame after I'd bought all the new 8 speed stuff - d'oh ! Now I need to look for something else to fit all the new stuff to.

Very nice bike - what mudguards are they out of interest?

Thanks, the mudguards are Bontrager something or other. They have them at Evans. They look ugly but are rattle free and very easy to set up and adjust.

My new bike - going for a test ride round surrey hills tomorrow - I know I need to raise handlebars as I have to reach abit. Other than that happy with her.

Lovely bike. Did you build those wheels yourself? They both look laced correctly but just one spoke hole out.

I bought them off eBay, what are the implications of them being one spoke hole out?

 

[apb]

aesthetics mainly. The valve should be between the two straight spokes, which makes it easier to get to the valve. But other than that they look laced correctly.
