Either he hasn't seen it yet or he has feinted with speechlessness! What a beauty! Will I.T. get a saddle?

WOW!  [:D]

Me [:D] VERY [:D] Happy!! [:D]

Indeed!!

Andy, Adrian, Robin & All the Thorn crew-

Thank You all so much for the great bicycle and such wonderful spirit in taking time for the photos!!

It's hard to imagine being so many miles away from the UK but still being able to share so much excitement in following the build of my dream bike!  Because of your ability to share in my excitement through email, phonecalls and photos... it's almost like living down the street from the SJS Cycles shop and being able to stop by each day to check in on my bike!

Cheers!!  When the Mrs., daughter and me stop through on the UK leg of our tour... drinks for ALL!!

i.e. prepare to look through the bottom of many pint glasses!  [^]

OK - I've been beaten to the small saddle comment...

On a more serious note, I just wanted to ask about the length of the steering tube.  Why is there such a long tube out the top compared to the length of the steerer in the headset?  Doesn't this mean that there is potentially alot of stress put on the roller bearings?
