Oooh, the excitement mounts.

My custom Hewitt Alpine frame is back from the paint-shop and ready for delivery, just need to arrange payment and delivery on Monday (when Paul Hewitt is back from holiday) and it'll be on the way.

Double bonus is that my 531 Raleigh commuter frame is coming back with it after a Ferrari Red enamel respray.

*hops up and down like a kid at Christmas*

For extra smuggery, read this months Cycling+ where they test an Alpine and praise it heavily...

I noticed that! Didn't think much of the reviews though to be honest - they really should've pointed out that the Yates and Hewitt are both custom made so things like the 'stiff' ride on the Yates or 'lack of rack mounts' on the Hewitt are pretty much irrelevant. Still, it's nice to read positive comments after ordering it (plus the paint job I spec'd will look much better than the boring review model).

I've just read the title of my own thread as 'the excrement mounts'
