It needed a tidy up... I cleared most on Robbo's suggestion but I don't know where your last 'sad puppy' post went... my daughter loved that pic

Update pic, just fitted a Sugino chainring, spider and bolts courtesy of Phantom Photon, Wardy and ebay.

Think it looks much better with these one.

Love these little cable end dice!

100% better Rob... much better balance.

Still no sign of the US competition

Much better without the Odyssey chainwheel Robbo

Yeah I did actually want an 880 when I was looking for brakes and nothing came up, since completing the bike 2 sets have been offered to me, bloody typical!!

I'm going to leave the 901's for a bit and maybe change the front next year.
