Lovely clean Fireblade!, they'll start going up in value soon for mint original examples.
This is my second, I had a tatty 1994 RR-R which I restored as an Urban Tiger using Chinese bodywork. This one I’ve owned for about a year and it’s about as good as it gets, 100% original and unrestored. It’s a keeper 🥰

Built this up today for a mate, Not sure about the colour, But a nice piece of kit, Full Di2. He is going to pop round for a fit before chopping the steerer tube.

@JhnBssll I have an spare front Di2 double derailleur. Make me a fair offer
Very kind offer but I found a brand new one on eBay so snapped it up
It didnt behave itself on the ride this afternoon, when you downshift the play in the linkage means it doesnt push the chain off the top ring. Most frustrating

New chain ring arrived for the 2 x 10 FS MTB. Comparing the last chain ring, the other was goosed, despite still working perfectly. Got the £50 ring for £22 as it was NOS from a bike shop, no packaging. Happy with that as the ring has done 3.5 years. The inner ring is hardly worn being steel.

Fitted new KMC chain on 11 speed 105 summer bike. It will some time before I take that out on the roads.

Yet more commuter bike cleaning.
Also an attempt to cure a squealing front disc on another bike by cleaning the rotor with Fenwicks degreaser/cleaner, sanding the pads and adding a touck of Copaslip to the back of the pads when putting them back. Still need to test ride to check whether it's worked.

Not so much Fettled as tried out my bottle cages. They are horizontal on the recumbent and held the water bottles perfectly. So choose the right type, but more wrap round than usual.
