Very nice. Does it come with the hidden mudguard mounts or is that further down the range?

August has proven to be very wet in recent years.

too true - could be June/July/September... but September is rather hit and miss as well..
Oh, who are we kidding here, the whole year is rather hit and miss. He just isn't going to get out on it very often is he?

@SatNavSaysStraightOn very true especially as from my figures it rains one in three days and thats me trying to avoid the rain most of the time.

bar humbug... I have had 3 weeks of touring this summer/autumn and didn't get wet... So I had better get ready for a very wet winter by the sounds of things!

At least it seems to have relented for my dog walk with my neighbour at 1.30. Probably be a bit mucky underfoot though but at least I won't need a heavy jacket.

Overall very nice ride indeed

Thanks @Big_Dave tis very nice indeed but if it wasn't for the events over the last couple of months i couldn't have afforded it either.

glad you like it... How did you ride it without the pedals though?

good to know that the 11sp 105 is nice... just waiting on the call to come and collect my OH's new bike which is an 11sp 105... I expect to be told by him "its a bike" rather than "is sublime"... He may just notice a difference from a triple 8 speed 2300 groupset to a 11sp compact 105... possibly... if I bang his head against a wall hard enough...

My winter bike has 2300 compact not even worth mentioning the difference so i wont, But if your o/h doesn't notice the difference there is something wrong
