The bike is now dialled in and mudguards fitted so here's some more photos as promised
The first photo shows a mud deflector fitted to the rear guard,by way of explanation,a mud flap doesn't work for me as I have to stand the bike on the rear wheel to get throught some mad "anti" cycling gates on the L&L towpath a flap just get torn off.
Second shows the Utegra mech which allows more room for the m/guard behind the seatube as it's tight.It also shows the plastic P clips used on the seatstay bridge as there's not hole in it for a bridge bracket,there's also one on the chainstay bridge.It also shows the front mudflap which is a must off road if you want to keep yuor feet dry.
Third is of the full bike with an Alpkit Possum frame bag and a Topeak laerge seatpack,though I've since swapped the seatpack for a medium,there's enough room for day luggage in the frame pack which is now shared between this bike and my Longitude.
Fourth shows the gearlever/Kelly's layout again and the crosstop levers along with an Acor accessory bar to carry computer and front light
I'm liking the Conti RaceKings on the slimey wet tracks,but they're a bit of a compromise on crapmac as they drag a bit after the fast rolling Supremes
