Another good looking bike, what size is that? It looks very well proportioned.  I sometimes think I should have gone for the blue rather than the red.  A few more scrapes and I’ll have a reason for a respray.  
I have this thing about mixing silver and black components, to me it just looks wrong. I think Handlebars, stem, seatpost, cranks, racks, mudguards and wheels should be one or the other. No one else seems to mind so I guess it's just me.

Thanks PH - yes I also think it's well proportioned.  It's a 586L (I'm 6'2" with 890mm standover height - sorry about the mix of units).

The stem and bars came off my old hybrid - I reckoned they'd be about right in terms of fit.  I'd have preferred everything to be silver but the carbon seat post is neccessarily black  (the headset spacers are carbon fibre to match).  I know black is more serviceable but the silver takes me back to the days of my youth.
