Thoight i might just update this with some finished pictures. Went for a little trundle today to the hair torturers.....quick once over and here she is.
With a few details for the fetishists.
My only regret is that its not a size bigger. The reach is a bit short and stem choice is severely limited with those 22.2mm bars.....but they give me the height.
Ive done a few trips of 15 to 25 miles on her, so its not a killer, but its not perfect. But then nothing is...including my back, which I can hardly blame the bike for.
Im still open to frame/ fork/ brake/ wheel swaps if somebody has something bigger of a similar nature and quality.....or better with a bit if cash from me chucked in.
Someone must have an early xl ritchey stashed away!
