Well I’m delighted to say mine has arrived!!!!! And I really do think the matt black finish looks so much better in person than it does in the pictures. I’ll try and take some pics over the weekend but I already know I’m going to put plenty of miles on it. I’ve not had or ridden a bike in...

I do wonder how easy this would be to do oneself?

Ah right understood Atlav my mistake I thought you changed profile too but that makes sense now. Regarding the spur/battery I asked Woosh (I think it’s Tony) if it was currently possible and although in theory it is its not something they can do right now. it’s in another thread but I think the...

I hopefully get mine early this week so I should feedback on the GP5’s later in the week all things going as planned. I’m still torn with the idea of putting wider rubber on as I do think I’d prefer the softer rider, assuming it is a little softer Atlav? I was planning on adding all the “bells...

Does indeed!!!! And actually realising the pedals are the ones you mentioned too and I haven’t bothered with that yet. Although I have heard mine should be here next week hopefully

I had a similar dilemma when deciding what to choose and finally plumped for the farò as I couldn’t justify the extra money of the Ribble in the end.How had the Ribble worked out for you, does it feel like a high end machine, had many niggles at all?

Hey Atlav Just seen your post here and great to hear the positive review. I was expecting mine to be built this week although I’ve not heard from them yet, so I’m just hoping it’s because they’re busy and not that the timeframe has slipped My GP5 bar ends arrived yesterday so they are now...

Fingers crossed!!!! I’ve just contacted them to check the seatpost detail (further up the thread) but looking forward to comparing notes once they arrive!

So I’ve ordered my GP5’s just as they seems to go out of stock everywhere- you’ve clearly set a trend Jonah! And like you Atlav I’m going to hang on regarding the tyres until the bike gets here. next on the list is lights and locks...... does anyone have any experience of Litelok and any...

Yup think I’m sold on those already, good man I’ve been trying to find something for the bar ends!!!!! thanks so much Jonah!

Nice to meet you atlav! They both sound like good ideas and I’m keen to do something with the bars particularly too. What is the product you’re looking at, it might give me some inspiration? I hadn’t considered the toe cage but am already thinking about it now!! The other ancillaries you mention...

Im 5’11 and circa 11/12 stone, let me know how best to let you know my order details

ah ok it looked like suspension in the pictures but as you say if I’m changing it then it doesn’t really matter ..... is there something a little more high end that you would carry in stock or better for to order something to be delivered to the store? I think I read further up the thread that...

Oh one final thing does anyone know some of the finer details on dimensions. I.e. what post size it is and anything else that might be pertinent? Thanks again

I I ordered my Faro this week and I’m waiting like a kid in a sweet shop for the last fruit salad for it to be delivered. So whilst I’m waiting I’m keenly thinking about what upgrades I can make to my new toy (sorry I mean commuter cycle). I shall mainly be using this for work but with...
