Yeah it does look better

Thomson looks mint! Do you notice the difference on the bike?

Not really, just meant I could have the saddle in the middle of the rails and be comfortable for me.

Next thing I shouldn’t of tired as I was planning to sell them…m950 brifters and v-brakes.

Not sure if another colour on the bike is a good thing? Any feeling either way appreciated

Collected the front wheel from the LBS and happy with the spoke tension. Bought the wheels years ago as a set with the front hub flange having broken on 4 spokes holes. I sourced a NOS hub about 6 months ago and kept it as a spare set for my Diamondback TT. Loving the black rims/hubs as it seems to make the paint colour the centre of focus.

Hoping the Thompson stem arrives tomorrow, then its a hunt for a Raceface chainset or possibly a M950 to match the brakes/brifters. Decisions decisions!
