Another New Bike...

Soooo... the lure of a mod bike was just too much for me (Adam), thanks Mark. Here's my latest steed, a few bits robbed from my GU 26".

Thanks to:
Mark for the help in building and 175mm crank advice.
Ali for setting up my front brake.
Gav and Stan for playing pool throughout the build and helping with bugger all, apart from giving me abuse for my wheels being too small.
Dave @ Trialtech for some of the bits (mainly Ti bolts).
