I took it out for 60km round trip yesterday, the sky was clear and I really like my new bike.

Thought you were doing it on the cheap 😉

Did it go well?

Nice photo set on Flickr (looks like a great day out - did you get to the top of Cadair?) - what size frame and how tall are you? - been thinking of one of these frames myself to rebuild something I have - mainly a part transfer but new wheels needed. Did you get the On-One wheels?

@still s8tannorm
It is a 'cheapy' only spent £400 on these bits, the rest I had and are therfore free.
You did well missing yesterday, I was sooooooo slow. 🙂

@99percentchimp
Nah, so close but didn't top it. 🙁 This photo was taken as close as I got. Well after you leave the Land Rover track but before the last steep bit. It was about 4pm when I took this and I decided to do the sensible thing and head home in the light. 5ft 11 and the wheels are ones I had. Front off my old Rockhopper that was stolen. Rear off another bike that got bent and re-built.
