Here goes - first attempt at posting up a pic! Sadly quality is crappy camera phone!

Built up with the 200 in mind but that I can also put slicks on and do Spotiv C2C in June also

Set up is as follows:

aliexpress Dirty Disco carbon frame and forks,
50mm deep section carbon rims (32h) with Kenda SB8s,
SP dynamo hub up front to power Garmin 800 and Exposure Revo, DT Swiss 240s rear hub,
BB7 SL brakes,
Thomson stem and post,
Tioga spider saddle,
On-One midge bars,
Shimano 105 controls and rear mech,
SRAM rival cranks.
XTR Trail pedals.

Took it for a quick spin tonight - needs an inline post and a longer stem. Feels light and nippy

Lots of tinkering to be had!

OOooooo 240's posh. I wanted those but budget only allowed for the 350's. Same internals mind so they perform pretty much the same. :)

That looks vaguely exciting :D

Guessing you're taking the race seriously then?
