Looks nice that (other than the wheel size). I'd be wary of that chain device, though- I have a similar one with the same cage on my race bike and while the E13 one I ran on the last bike (which had a traditional BB fit) would drop the chain now and then it was shaped so it would go back on. When the new one (seat tube mount, pressfit BB) drops a chain it will not re-engage the chain, no matter where it's set. Very annoying in a race.

Long stems and wide bars are great for racing (700mm bar with 100mm stem here, but doubt I'm as tall as Bruce)

I take it from the amount of seat post showing on a 29er that you are a basketball player? Nice bike. Love the colour!

Mine doesn't drop it often, but when it does it's several places gone in the blink of an eye. I don't trust it, but at the moment can't afford £75 for the e13 one.

I'm not the biggest lover of steps but I reckon I could do 30cm of them 😉

I'm just building one of them! It's in bits in the bike room as I type.

XX1, Hope and X-Fusion Slides - bit more traily than your build.

Green is obviously the fastest colour though so good choice.
