New Build Finished

[cyberknight]

Dilemma is which one becomes the commuter ?
This one has sram apex 10 speed and pannier mounts , its a bit lighter with the same wheelset ( negligible only a few 100 grams i bet)but the paintwork is not as good as my old refurbed boardman which has sram force and a better paint job , it has race blade longs which give good coverage so the guy behind doesnt get a mouthful .I do have a seatpost clamp for panniers somewhere for it .

I would alternate them and ride which ever one took my fancy on the day. Assuming there is somewhere safe to park them.

For commuting? The bright yellow one!

Update
Used it for 2 days commuting and even with new brake pads the stopping power of the fsa branded calipers is pitiful so i will have to have change them for something else . Just got some ribble stickers which i can install later.After that its just sorting mudgaurds

This. also you've got a decent mudguard fit on it, which you might not get with mystery stealth bike.

however, if you need a getaway bike for doing over jewelers at night, leave the boardman in the shed.

i set it up for commuting for now to see how it goes but as you say mudgaurds could be an issue , i know @BSOh said he might have some ?
