This is a place holder for my bike I'm picking up in 4 and 1/2 hours from now. 

Pics will be up when I get home, nothing other than stock parts but I can't wait.

[Danneaux]

Yay! Wonderful news! Can't wait to see it also.

Best,

Dan.

Just got back home. It wasn't from a shop it was from the same man that had the catalist on ebay. It only cost me £800 and it looks new. It's built in 2009 and I couldn't be happier. It's got a 32/16 chainring/sprocket on and I'm going to change that to 42/16.

Anyway, here are a few pics.

Just been out for a 10 mile ride. Needs a longer stem but other than that it's fantastic. Very sturdy and no rattles.

[Neil Jones]

Wow that looks a beauty, a very black beauty, sounds like you got a great deal there, the rohloff alone is nearly a grand.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on your new aquisition.

Any chance of a rundown of the components of your Raven?

Thanks for posting, we all love a photo.

Cheers, Neil.

[Danneaux]

A beauty indeed! All congratulations on a cracking good "ride". Many happy miles ahead!

Best,

Dan.

No, the guy only rode it once or twice. He has A LOT of other bikes. It's in such good condition, I can't believe how cheap I got it.
