He's home!!!
Brought him home on the train and it was chucking it down on the way from the train station, so I spent half an hour drying and polishing him cause it seemed terribly wrong letting a brand new bike get mucky...
Looking at the weather forecast, my chances of getting out on him for the next few days are minimal...hail, sleet and heavy rain - great!!!
Had ordered some slim shims of the web following a thread on this forum as I was struggling with the lever reach on the testride, and I wasn't sure if they would have them in. Good job I did - lbs had never even heard of them, but were very impressed and are going to order a whole load in on Monday. The difference they make is amazing, so thanks a lot for that tip!!!!
Will have to post some pics tomorrow of what he looks like in real life!!!One day, I'm going to buy a cottage in a small village and become its idiot!

Yes, we can't wait to hear and see more!
How thrilling!
It 'always' seems that rotten weather starts the very day one picks up a new bike. It's a plague that follows most of us. I hurt my hip (not biking) after only a few miles on my new bike and couldn't ride it for 6 weeks! It was torture.
Glad you are getting those shims.

Ooooo pretty, you know, for a boy. I'm sure my bike is a boy too but I suspect he'll be wearing some pink soon because thats how I roll.
