Okay, okay just keep rubbing it in...

I'll only keep the one that fits me best though

No ride report yet Phil. That was it literally just finished yesterday.
I’ve always quite liked the SE brakes, once you get used to the ‘squish’ of the lever

Well I can't wait to hear all about it when you do!

Glad to know it's not just my poor mechanical talent that's resulting in the SE squishy lever syndrome! (SLS)

Didn't clock it first time around, but obviously your recent 1 Pic Per Post photo made it abundantly clear...

Did it come with the WTB CK too?

You really are a lucky boy with this one!

The headset was indeed included. It wasn’t cheap mind, but worth it

Whatever it cost, looking at it right now, it’s worth every penny.

Probably shoved itself right near the top of the queue for my favourite bikes on this site!

Lovely bike. The frame is a work of art.

Dug this out of storage the other day and brought it back home. Will take it for a spin when I get a chance; hopefully later this week if the weather plays ball
