Looks good. PS don't write off the old MTB unless it's a cheapie.

No worries about that, I'll never get rid of my 90's Orange Clockwork in fact just upgraded it last year with 10sp.........

A mate had just bought a 16 model and I looked around for one but ended up having to get the 17 model as the smallest they made last years was 53cm....

Very nice - very good price for the spec' too. Not much around except Cube with mainly 105 and hydraulic and thru-axles both ends for much under £1500 at the moment.

Yeah I am wondering if cube have shopped it . The bottom bit of chain curves upwards. We had a straight edge across it in work as it is frying brains if some people .

Wow, either my eyesight is going or you guys had to study that picture really hard to see that? Nothing else is working the way it used to so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out, when I looked back at it I saw it straight away....Someone must have been bored and adjusted it to see who noticed....

Looked at one in the flesh today (Wheelbase, Staveley, Cumbria) and very nice it is too.

I see that you have the same through axles as I have on mine, I would have preferred the QR version.....but I suppose it's an advantage when I just go to the shops and any wee tosser that knows about QR...now needs an allen key.....
