I even got some matching wattle bottles Only tweaking so far is a black Charge Spoon saddle. Might have to swap the cassette for something more wide-ranging but I really hope I can stick with having 28 as my lowest gear. I love it. What a bargain.

You can't beat a decent pair of matching wattles. Really set a bike off

A year and a bit on, and quite a lot has changed. - New bar tape, bars and shifters (because my old ones got nicked while my steed was locked up outside work. I'll never be doing that again). Really like Fizik's tape, it's lovely. Bought 105 shifters and was gifted some FSA Omega Compact bars, and they feel way comfier for me compared to the original ones. Also had to replace the stem but I just bought the same B'twin one. Cheap and does the job.
- I swapped the tyres for Wiggle's own brand LifeLine Prime Race Road tyre. Bloody love them, they feel great. However...
- I decided I wanted new wheels. Bought some Hunt 4Season Aeros, they're lovely. So I needed new tyres so stuck on some Rubino Pros I had lying about the shed. I don't really like them to be honest. Might get another pair of Lifeline ones.
- I replaced the crankset with a 105 one as I was involved in a small crash which left the crank arms bent (!). Much better than the stock crankset, I must say.
- Installed a set of Raceblade Pro XL mudguards. Hope the weather gets better soon so I can take them off.
- Other little bits include a lovely tool rool from Mack Workshop, a horrible top tube bag for 200km+ rides, and a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt.
- Oh and sadly I left one of my matching bidons at a cafe on Saturday. Damn.

still no pics though, just a no entry sign, are you setting pics to private or something?

I can see it now, looking good, I hope you have another bottle on order . Interesting comments on the tyres as I've had some Rubino pro's and thought they were pretty good though I do have the prime race disc wheels and they've been good, jealous of your Hunts though.

I second chas comment on the tyres. I use Rubino pro, find them fine (although don't have a lot to compare them to) but interesting that you prefer an own brand tyre, which I haven't seen mentioned before - most folk fall into two or three big brand camps (GP4000, etc.)
