I'll look forward to a little tootle at weekend.

What was amiss with the bb in the end?

User error

A smack with a soft hammer on the drive side and removing the 'extra' spacer did the trick

Looks good - I think I should have gone for one of those and not the Rooster - at least I could be riding it!

Looking good!

I like the utilitarian design aesthetic - understated and classic.

Does it jump as far as your old one though?

Nope, the Scandal was quite jumpy, this one seems to stick to the ground more, maybe a 29er thing?

Ooooo,

I've got a new bike too!!

New bikes rock eh??

Just a thought, I wouldn't clamp it to the frame (on the bike stand), go with the seatpost as its cheaper to replace if you do the clamp too much (although probably not an issue with a steel frame)

Looks really good Matt, interested to hear how it rides compared to your Scandal
