I was hoping to get the black frame, but i got a bit of a deal on this one as the shop didn't have the black one in stock. i like it now though, probably more than the black.
Also, my other bike is Magenta, or pink as the missus would have you believe, so at least i won't get smart comments from her for having a pink bike
i think it's the tyres that make it look fast.
I put my knobblies on yesterday, it's taken about 50mph off of how fast it looks
oh, my pedals arrived this morning. yay!

If I were you, I'd put a carbon fork on, put the slicks back on and go poseur hunting. But damn, that thing's hot the way it is.

I realise now that washing your bike without a hose isn't as hard as i'd imagined.

i wish i did have an outside tap. we've only just moved in and it's a rental place so we can't really do too much about that. not to mention we're 3 stories up, i'd have to call the fire brigade to winch me up to turn the tap on and off ;P
I can't even find a local garage with a hose, so until we moved in march, it's going to have to be the bath (when the mrs is away, of course).
