Sounds good, even the second time!
Looking forward to seeing the pictures from tomorrows epic.

Sadly the Epic was cut short by a raging ear infection. However, still knocked out a few miles.
New saddle hasnt come yet sadly.

That is a nice looking bike, I was looking at the Whyte range at the Cycle Show on Friday

I really stretched the budget to get it. I love it.
Its really understated.
I'm saving for a Whyte FS. Either that or upgrade this with some Sid XX and a nice handbuilt wheels.

Made a few minor changes this weekend. I want it to look just right. So it is now sporting a Specialized S-Works bottle cage and Avatar saddle. I hav also remounted the computer onto the stem so I can run twin Hope Vision One lights. The next change will be the brakes. I hate the white Avid levers and calipers. Need to be black for that stealth bomber look!

Most recent pic. Gonna change the Brakes as I hate the White calipers/levers.

Has seen a few changes in spec, no longer a commuter so is set up for the wild now. Spent a lot of time on the set up of the forks and have lost 5 stone since I bought it so am now really seeing what it can do.

Will sort a new pic out.

Maxxis Tires
XT Trail Pedals

Two years to change those disks!
Really nice though. Big fan of the look of whytes, would like to try one.

That looks lovely!

Big congratulations on the weight loss to that's some loss! I'm hoping the rebuild of my Ms Isle will spur me on to do the same!
