Re: Re:

Unless Makster is the most unlucky guy going, it's the wrist, not a leg injury. Otherwise I shudder to think what his one-handed typing issue was on another thread.
Bike's looking really good and hopefully I'll see it on the trails soon.

I should know this as I had a conversation on being one armed ! :facepalm:
distracted by the bike !

Re: Re:

beautific!
Just the stem quill should be deeper in the steerer tube to prevent breakage...

It's right on the minimum insertion mark

So it is a bit to small for you? Sell it to me! ;-)
Looks very good Mark, nice choice of parts, love the ritchey parts.

I'm hoping that when I get to ride it I'll be able to drop it down a bit.
I've set it up for the worst case scenario

Hi, I see that your (very cool) bike has a Ritchey Logic crankset. I have the same crankset at home but I am missing the spacers for the granny.

Do you have to possibility to measure how thick the spacers are? That would help me a lot finishing my bike!

Thanks!

Re:

This is now completely finished, and I've been on a couple of good shake-down rides on it.
I'm really pleased with how it rides. It doesn't feel too small for me at all (maybe the 150mm stem helps!).
I had to take it steady as it's still less than 10 weeks since I badly bust my wrist, but I'm looking forward to riding it harder as my fitness returns.
Some pics from its first outing....

The real sore point for me with this is that I was looking forward to sharing these pics with Martin (Bryncrug) as he'd played a part in me not selling this frame when I needed money for my medical bills.
I stopped for a pint at the end of the ride and raised a glass to the man

Nice bike, nice build, nice photos!
Hope to see this on a ride soon - summer evenings and all that!
