Superb, cheers kev mate.

That bike looks superb mate, bit confused over the chair on it though as that one is different to what they should have come with. I assume it was just built for that test ride and the ones out of the factory would have been the standard one.



One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Yeah it'll be one of those "changeover" things again Andy - they probably hadn't moved to the viscount areo seat at the time of the test and release of the bike and possibly ran with the old MX seat for a short while before turning to the aero across the range by the time the catalogue was released  ;)

I'd go with the catalogue pic / aero seat for your build mate if it was me  ;)

And stop using the word "chair" FFS !
