Oh there will be pictures a plenty. Got my final bike fit booked for 3pm so hopefully will be out of the LBS quite quickly and away for its first spin.
Its the one roundabout where I know that drivers don't stop, because they can see any cars on the roundabout, so slow down. But they can't see cyclists.

So I always look to see if there's any cars coming before, and I could see that this one hadn't seen me and her approach speed meant she wasn't going to stop. She was too busy talking to her kids or someone else in the car.

So she got a wavy fist, and some choice language, dopey mare

The weathers going to be nice for your first ride. Whooo hoooooo

Its here, taken it for a bit of a test ride, need to tweak the saddle angle and I'm going to take a spacer or two out of the stem height and maybe flip the stem.

It feels lovely, turns on a six pence but it sooo stable. Its really comfy but I can get a bit lower on the front and still feel comfy to.

Nice! So sexy in black

Although I'd flip the stem for a more traditional look

Have you changed to Time pedals Fizz?

Stem has been flipped already, looks much better now. Will leave it like that and try it again before I take any spacers out.

Yep changed to Time pedals last year, was getting knee pain on longer rides and the times have more float / adjustment than the looks even with the red look cleats. Knee pain is now banished. So sticking with them.

It's not really for me. It's for my boy. I'll show him a thing or two though. Expect a "Can'r ride my motorbike cos I've broken my arm" thread shortly.
