Re: Re:
It looks heavy (headtube junction) but its light, tight, flickable, get up to speed quick, maintains speed well, I usualy run 22,32,42 up front but I'm running a 44 and I'm pulling well on it, which had me wondering about the gearing as I shouldn't be able to do all that at this moment. Its buttery smooth, plush, and the arse end really follows the contours of the ground when climbing, to put it in a nut shell its a "fast ride" :twisted:

Re:
Finished building up my Charge Plug frame, as I know you all love a tenuous reason for putting a big together here goes....Its to fill to hole of winter trainer/commuter/rough road and sometime tourer chasm in the fleet . Actually quite excited about it in an almost retro sense. Chose a slightly bigger than normal frame, thus there is less post sticking out compared to a more modern bike. Being a CXish frame this also has a slightly shorter top tube which let me go for the bigger frame, the bonus is also a bit more headtube too. I was really nervous about the fit but thats a 100mm stem up front and its very very comfy, exactly what I was looking for, useable drops and a relaxed top of the bars position. The Tange Prestige tubeset is lovely too in a nice a retro skinny way. Of course its not pretending to be anything but modern but I hope you can see where I'm coming from.
