Very nice Phil, very nice.

How come you went for a 44t chainring? I think it lets it down a bit, as its a bang up to date frame.

[Philbert]

from the intel i've gathered i'm lead to believe thats what racers still use! unless i've been lied too?! it might get smaller as time goes by!

Fair enough. I know kack all about racing, I just like the look of smaller chainrings.

just to think phil ,i left one of them frames leaning up against the fence at rom  and drove away   
but saved by generalee and jay habishaw who spotted my little mistake   

[QUADROPHENIA]

ffs......move the bloody bike and get some close up shots of that chair man  is it your "knock one out chair " ?

[Stodgy]

Lovely Philbert, Lovely.

I saw that frame for the first time out the back of James Hitchcox's van at the Harrow leg of Old Fools. I must admit I really like the laser cut drop outs. Very sexy.

Good work smelly bum.

for my sins, i'm not a new school fan as i keep falling off of them but ohhhh errrr missus, that is one superb looking bike.

Looks fast and dangerous. well me riding it would be dangerous.
