Bontrager Race OR

Thanks @frkl It was worth a try, much better for me like this though.

Fit is such a personal thing, there is no one right set up, it's got to work with the rider/bike combo.

Yup, thats looking sweet. is that M740 headset you bought going spare now then?

Thanks Matt. Yes, I think I could be persuaded to part with the XT headset!

Perfect Ben.

Not surprised this gets ridden the most.

Dream machine.

Thanks Phil, there's a couple of tiny things I'd like to sort, O-ring missing off the front skewer and the rear one's cracked, replacements are incoming and the barrel adjusters in the brake levers don't match which I'll sort in at some point, although I'll want the proper XT ones so probably means another set of shifters or at least brake levers.
Also would like a Salsa roller stem, if I ever see one in the same dimensions as this one for a not too ridiculous price, but that's just an aesthetic thing it doesn't really bother me too much if it never happens.
Other than that I'm extremely happy with it, it's a beautiful bike both to ride and stare at!

This one's not too insane

Nope, not too bad at all.

Currently mulling over that McMahon he has too!

Thanks Matt.
That's a good price, compared to most that you see anyway!
Unfortunately at 150mm it's far too long for me

Nice looking race light...I just recently aquired a large race light frame myself and was blown away how light the frame is

Thanks @Oldskool26er.
This is a Race, so not quite as light as a Race Lite, but still an awesome bike.
