Lovely bike Landslide - if your girlfriend chucks you and keeps the bike I'll buy it off her.

Dry stone wall looks quite nice too - I've seen worse!

 

[TheDoctor]

Very good! Should be a bit better to ride than that folder

Gorgeous bike and what a generous girlfriend!

Very nice, there's something classy about burgundy frames with slim steel lines. I'd probably swap out the black stem and post for silver ones if it was mine though. Is that an 'off the peg' frame or custom?

 

[Landslide]

Yeah, silver was my original intention, the stem's borrowed and once I'm happy with the position I'll probably replace it. Last frame had a quill stem, so I'm trying to get the height right before chopping down the steerer too much, whilst simultaneously avoiding a huuuuuuuge stack of spacers (sorry Thorn owners!).
Main problem is finding a nice stem in anything other than black!!! Plus they've all gone 31.8, which to my mind is a bit bulky-looking. I've wondered about getting a stem custom made and painted to match...

It's an off-the-peg frame.

Yeah I know I was struggling to find a silver stem in 26.0 standard bore. I think "PRO" (Shimano) make a forged one called "XLT" in silver: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=16367
