Right then, update time....
Quite a few of you may have seen this on our stand, or out and about at the Malverns a couple of months back.
Most of the time in company with both the real ex-jmc s-works and fsr, both of which were loaned to us for the weekend to have on display, at which point mine was open to much scrutiny over the differences between the real deal, and my build (mainly the wheels and in particular, the tyres, RetroSpud, I'm looking at you)
Well, since then I've sourced a new wheel set with correct mavic 121 rims (sadly not ceramic ones though) and the hardest part, correct team control and team master tyres.
I only had reissue smoke and darts on before as they looked period, the specialized tyres are good but faded so I shall be keeping an eye out for some better ones if I can.
And I'm still on the hunt for the correct avid tri align cantis too if anyone knows of a set hiding anywhere they would part with, feel free to message me!
Anyways, onto some pics....

And then lastly, something absolutely amazing that I picked up last weekend (with permission from Jason's dad, Jim)
The old memorial banner from Jason's crash site on the woodhead pass, as they have replaced it with a shiny new one to commemorate the anniversary of his tragic demise which was 23 years ago on Friday just gone!
I've already had conversations with Justin and have been added on fb by them both, and after a chance conversation regarding the old banner, Jim decided they would let me have it for use at shows and such to display alongside my bike and so I can do just that little bit more, towards keeping the memory of the late great JMC alive!!
