Tasty.
Cracking spec on that beauty.
Shame the euro rate has dropped over the last six months or so or you would have saved £500 in the conversion. Im betting that once we confirm we are staying in the euro it will bounce back somewhere towards 1.35/1.40. I know it's not easy to be patient though when you've made your mind up on a new steed.

A neighbour of mine has one (all black version) and not only looks great he loves it...climbs well too considering the geometry...I would reduce the fork travel a bit to improve it further on the climbs...and you will have to sort out the brakes since they come on the wrong side. Hope it arrives soon! When ordering a new bike, it is always a pain, specially these days when new "standards" are always coming out...and you are always a few months away of the next thing, model, bla bla...sometimes you just have to commit and get on with it!

Didnt know they came the wrong sides . Is it an easy fix? The case of swapping them around or do I have to unhose them and rebleed ?

Can't you spec them 'Brit way round'? I did on the Chief - just had to choose it on the build page. Lovely colour that is too.

New bike is now ordered , wasnt possible getting intense frame as its being phased out and a new bike coming from intense in few months . just repeating what he said .he could of ordered me the frame atr £2900 but would take a month through new supplier, nearly got the bronson frame with £300 off price but now i will enjoy the Capra . it ticked all the boxes and this is the bike that will stop me buying new bikes every 12-18 months as i will just buy a frame and transfer the parts as the parts are just insane for the money along with a £1600 set of carbon rims . cant bloody wait . just have to wait for invoice and pay now . thanks for all the input . They're stopping the Tracer? Noooooooooooooo!

It's a case of swapping the hoses and bleeding the air out the system.

Do you have some inside info there John? Staying in the EU eh ...I wouldn't be too confident of that . Depends on the turnout of the innies..over confidence might just play a part..

The poll switched to 56% positive! probably after speeches from Obama! euro rate was back 1.29 this morning and dollar around 1.45 so the pound is already strengthening. Don't buy your holiday euros just yet as you may get a bit more in a few weeks.

It was 1.29.84 this morning at 9am on transferwise conversion rate and now it's gone back down .if I had paid this morning I would of saved over £30 . Hope it goes back to 1.29 in the morning . I got 10 working days to pay for be bike and I want to save as much as possible. Dam just that Euro cents makes a bloody difference when your spending £3.8k on a bike
