I have to say.......about the MTB.......stop torturing me for goodness sake. The Trek is not an MTB......the Sow's ear is hardly a friggin' bike at all. What they both surely must be is for sale and for sale only.

But where'd be the fun in that?

Richard
thanks mate, you've helped more than you suggest

I think your right.

I note that you have lined up the rim decals with the writing on the tyres on both front and rear.

Yeah, I do it too........

Hi Richard,
first reaction on seeing the Jamis fit shots was just how sweet it all looks put together...

My second reaction was that I can see a lot more wall between your elbow
and your 'speed hump' now!

Comparing that recent photo with your avatar must give you a great feeling, the weight loss is quite evident.

Well done on all counts. And thanks for a very entertaining build lesson.

cheers,
Marcus

46km

46kmh average speed. That really impressive Richard.

Damn! All that work and I can't poke showtime at anything!

Enjoy her Richard, she looks magnificent.

Richard, I was going to suggest one tiny modification to this magic build of yours to help you squeeze a bit more performance out of her.......respray her in a blindingly bright red! But seeing your doing 46kph already, blue is the perfect colour.

Mate, I have to agree with the others and say that you can really notice the shrinking hump!!!!!!

Well done.

OK, that's it. No more excuses - I'll see you in January for the TdU Challenge stage. As Dr. Seuss would say: "One bike, two bike. Red bike, blue bike"!
It does look good and I find riding a bike that I put together very satisfying, so riding one where you even built the wheels should be even more so.

Thanks for spotting the weight loss

Paint her RED?

The lad and I watched The Italian Job, the original version, not the crappy hollywood remake, and the red of one of the Minis is supurb

But I can't have another red bike, the Toscana is red ... I hope.

btw Mike, that wasn't an average speed of 46, that was the distance done, but thanks for believing me capable of it

You'll have to change your avatar to suit the new stead then aye.

In your last extreme photo you look a bit red??? Exerting a bit of energy to hold yourself are you?

Mitch.
