Simple wintery build, only the frame has changed - from Sanderson Breath to Kinesis Decade Versa.

Always wanted a green bike 😀

I love my Decade Versa - run it singlespeed as well (but with Marz 44 forks).

What size is that chainring?

Those reflective spoke things are awesome for commuting, I have them on my bikes even a couple on my mountain bike so much side visibility!

Brake hose could do with a slight trim.

Weeksy - they're reflector things, a legacy from when I could commute to work and was a bit paranoid about not being visible from the side. They do work very well but will come off shorly!

Wwaswas - they're nice aren't they. No clue as to chainring size though. It's right at the limit of what the singulator can accommodate, there's about half a turn of adjustment left I think.

what are the forks they look weird (and a bit long but could just be the angles)

You could get a shorter stem on there, improve handling, and then slide your seat back a bit maybe.
Nice bike.

You're right, I did mean chain tug. Oops!
Fork is an orange f8- it's not great but it's all that budget permits for now!

Noooo..."silently weeps"...had mine nicked a couple of weeks ago and now I only have a bmx :(. Mine was black (had two green ones). Just beware the seat tube if its an older model as they had a tendency to split at the collar junction.

"You could get a shorter stem on there, improve handling, and then slide your seat back a bit maybe"
eh?
Its already fairly short, no?
If you went even shorter wouldn't it be a bit too twitchy when really cranking out the saddle?
