New bike Part 10

Finished Bike with new rear triangle installed
Hi,
Now seems as good a time as any to post a picture of the finished bike.  For about 2 weeks I've been riding it to work twice a week and its going well, in fact having it motivates me to ride more.  No obvious problems, I think its at least as fast as the old model.

With the original rear triangle installed the seat seemed a bit high so I spent a bit of time making a new one but have yet to try it.  The new one seems a bit flaky from rattling it on the bike.  The old one actually was fine but the bike might have been hard to ride for anyone a bit shorter than me.  The new rear triangle makes me a bit lower to the ground and its possible the bike would be a bit faster.   Not sure this actually matters......   Anyway I'll try it soon and report.

Regards

Steve
