I paid just over a grand for em, and was still 200 quid under my max e-snipe, there were only 2 of us bidding.

Yes Sean I just swapped the freewheel to a shimano one and slipped on a Dura Ace 11-23 cassette 8)

Tidy bike George, mind you want to watch out leaving yer back door open like that, some one could just walk through and nick it.

Very nice...

As a side note the bike would look much better with a zero offset seat post seeing that your saddle is push forward on your setback post.

I'm still going through position set up so still need some more time to decide,

If the saddle stay's put I'll replace the post,

Very nice bike..

btw re position set up, is there an accepted way of doing this, or just ride around until it gets comfortable, which surely could be just getting used to the position? I only ask because the local bike shop (well known chain) I got mine from seemed to have no clue other than raising/lowering saddle.
Do GBs or similar do fitting service?
Thanks for advice
