Rebas arrived today.
This allowed me to finish fitting the brakes, plus to cable up the mech.
Hoping the grips arrive tomorrow....then it'll be a quick test ride before the Big Bike Bash at the weekend

Sorry. My post now seems really patronizing!

Rebas look great.

It's from 2012.
The only time I've raced there. It always seems to clash with Big Bike Bash, or something else

Ridden yet?!

Ridden yet?!

It has indeed been ridden.
It's first ride was a sighting lap at Big Bike Bash. I absolutely loved it!
The only issue was that the tyres I was running were a bit wide and rubbed when I cornered hard.
I've fitted some slightly narrower tyres and it's now fine.
It rode so much better than I expected. It felt really nimble and I could throw it around much more than the Canyon it replaces.
The flex of the frame felt just right too.
I've not updated this thread as I was waiting to get some decent pics, but here are a couple from BBB...
