13 - 30 and 34 - 50 chainrings

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. :mrgreen:

Most of mine are 50 - 34 - 11-28 and I have done some steep stuff in Scotland.

Re:

Looks great! I think you need to check the cable routing at the front though, front brake and rear gear look like they're getting in each others way. Might just be because of the small frame though?

Re:

Looks great. Be sure to tell us how it rides.

Thanks Chaps, I left the cables a bit longer just in cast I need to adjust anything or swap out the bars, so as soon as the weather drys up a bit I can get out and give it a test run.

Just reading this for the first time... Nice bike!

Is that your old house in the background of the seatpost closeup?

 

[kingbling]

It certainly is

Re:

Very pretty, Clive. The Harry Perry (Philbrook) has made its way to Adelaide. It's currently at the airport awaiting Quanrantine clearance. Should be able to pick it up in a couple of days. Very excited about getting it built up and riding it in the Adelaide Hills.

Thanks Richard I hope it gets to you soon and you have many happy miles on it. I doubt I'll own another frame as good as the Perry but this one is very close. I do miss it but I have the photo's to remind me, you can now see where the funds have gone to

Well I took this out yesterday and its light, (8kg) its fast and so much fun (I set a few PB's on strava yesterday) With a bit of weight loss from oneself it looks like I could set a few more. The ride was sublime I don't think I've ever had a frame that has fitted me so well it's like it was made for me. You do really notice the difference with the modern groupset, the wheels you really notice on the acceleration and the shifting is so smooth. Being so light it fairly flies up the hills. When the sun is out this will be my goto bike and because of this I am going to sell my LOOK even though it is a great bike itself I definitely prefer the F'light.
