It's pretty much finished except for the new chainring that I'm waiting on. I only got to test ride it for a few miles but managed to take in a couple of hills. The first impression is that this is a totally different machine to my 80's steel roadie conversion, the power transfer to the road is amazing, this thing just wants to go!... and it seems to want to climb too, but that might be because it only weighs 17lb and is only 57 gear inches.

I'm not happy with the slackness in the chain but that should be sorted with the new chainring, and if not then I'll spring for an Eno eccentric hub.
