Downtube protector looks a bit, er, flimsy and might stop the back wheel going round 😉

The scissors does match the cushions well but I can't help thinking it must be uncomfortable to sit on

If I could have any frame right now it would be one of those, well it would be a one9 RDO but whatever.

Either that or his wife came home - found the bike she didn't know he'd bought *on the bloody sofa* and he's been sent to his room without his tea. 🙂

Can't finish it off tonight as the new frame has a 142 rear and needs an adaptor for the xx1 cassette ;-/

No less of the live action build as most done by the time my phone was back working ;-/

I had fingerprint marks underneath the lacquer on my old frame but apart from that spot on!!

Please don't ever clamp that frame (or any other for that matter) by the top tube. It's a lot cheaper to replace a seatpost than a frame if you crush it.

Random but bike related: your scissors remind me of the 2010 Sworks Enduro...

Is it one of those flat bar road bikes, aka a hybrid?

Are you really small, or is that a massive can of lager for when you've done?
