What Have You Fettled Today?

I had a green Principia RSL from Hargroves in the late 90s and it was such a waste on me at the time, sold it stupidly cheap mid noughties.

I had one of those for a while too, probably the best riding aluminium frame I’ve tried. Was too small for me so I sold it, but still keep an eye out for one.

I've watched the video now. There were lots of comments and the overall verdict there was: angle the hoods - yes, but subtly, not to the extreme angle shown in the video.

I'm ahead of my time then, I did that years ago!

Collected frame and fork of the Allcity Nature Boy with the new powder-finish on Tuesday.
Wednesday and yesterday I attached the head set, stem, handlebar and brake levers, square taper bottom bracket, cranks and a 46t chain ring.
Today I laced up a wheel set for that bike.

As the weather doesn't look great tomorrow I've pulled my Zwift bike* out of storage and thrown on a pair of summer wheels. A few adjustments needed as it's not been used for a while, plus some rear brake pads as I'd removed them.

* It's the only bike that currently has mudguards apart from my newly-upgraded Ridgeback Platinum, which I won't be using as it needs a test ride first. And yes, my indoor training bike is mudguard-equipped along with clip-on TT bars.

Just starting to clean these up. Anyone able to direct me to a site which has nice hoods for them, Thanks.

I did feel more comfortable when my hands were on the now (slightly) tilted back hoods...

I made the same change to my Devon bike today. It was a big improvement.
