So bright you can’t see the details!

Yes, the paint confuses the hell out of the iPhone camera, makes it way more red than it is in the flesh. The paint seems to have a lot of pigment depth as it appears very different colours under certain light. I’ll have to have a go at capturing it with a proper SLR.

I really like this. Need to finish my own 'Bury's pioneer, it's the bars/stem decision-making that's holding me back. How are you finding the Nitto Albatros bars?

Very pleased with them so far - they aren’t as wide as I’d imagined them, which is a good thing for riding woodland singletrack. I had also expected the backsweep might cause an issue with the barend shifters getting in the way, but that’s not been the case as yet. The position is upright but not overly so - confidence inspiring I would say. Certainly more relaxed, but still capable of handling proper offroad conditions.

Interesting, thanks. I did wonder about their relatively narrow width. Loving the look of them and great to hear they're also nice ride.
