Crikey, that's nice. Would look brill with XTR V's because matchy matchy but in the meantime close the thread, we're done here now

And there was me thinking of wheeling out my P7 for this one...

Love a Xizang, kind of wish I’d never sold mine, was one of the early TTN ones.

Get some pedals on it quick!
