They wear most stuff well. I've tried.
Crack on as you see fit. It's going to be nice whatever.

Few more pics of the deets on this one. Amazed at how light this fork is actually. I kinda thought it was going to be a bit of a brick but not so. I will get a weight of the bike as it is. Unless your all more interested in the weight of the individual components

Chain stay has hardly any chain slap not many chip even without stay protector

The paint is very thick and the decals are thick as well. Hopefully get time this weekend to strip it down clean and polish it. I noticed the rear brake bosses are essentially hollow with no internal threads, dumb question but how do they go on?

The brake bosses attach with long M6 bolts that go through the boss straight into the frame.

If you have the chance to weight the frame only do let us know of the results. I have heard that are among the lightest steel frames!

So messed around last night for a couple hours. Had the Dawn Powerwash out and was glad to see that some of what I thought were chips was actually gunk stuck on the frame and decals. It’s cleaning up very nicely and has had an very easy life thus far.
