Made a bit of a cheeky miscalculation and ended up buying a Verve Infocrank power meter!
POWER!!! by Ben Magee, on Flickr
Have to say that I love it so far, initial numbers are interesting although it would now seem that I'm going to have to put my mouth where my money was and do some proper training and consider the prospect of racing!...
No point in owning the kit and not making proper use of it?!
The I'm on my second sitting of the power meter handbook ... had my P2M for 3 months or so, so just collecting data! Have fun with it.

I've gone large on the frame, wrong for me on every sizing chart but sat on it it feels spot on. Really lively on turns and jumps wlll even with my limited ability 
I've been looking at droppers, the crush s comes with a 125mm dropper so I'd imagine 150 will be a squeeze. I need to get a Rockshox Reverb once I have some money again. Bought the bike then realised I needed 4 tyres yesterday and my accountants bill came in the post. Bugger!

Yes I think you are right, it looks like it won't quite fit.
New frame ordered today for me.
I've been looking at the Tripster frames for about 18 months now and never quite went for one, trying another couple of frames instead with not much luck on the sizing front. The Tripster sizing is perfect for me and is my first try of a titanium frame. Hopefully it'll live up to the expectations.

Decided on something a little different from the norm for me, so just pulled the plug on this
Will be interested on your thoughts of the 1x11 set up, mine always seems to feel like you lose loads of power in the drivetrain, just feels like hardwork. Love it still but wish mine had hydro discs rather than cable, may look to upgrade that bit. Wife wants to swap hers to 2x11.This http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/road-bikes/b... to be pressed in to winter duties with some Hunt 4Season Disc wheels.
Reduced to £800 and then through cycletowork scheme it was hard to resist.

I was looking at that as well. With BC discount and the voucher workaround it comes out at £650 which is insane value really. Hmmm...Reduced to £800 and then through cycletowork scheme it was hard to resist.
Having purchased and swiftly returned the official Giant mudguards as I thought that they were incredibly crap, I held out and waited to buy the new SKS Raceblade Pro. They're excellent. They were delivered yesterday and then took me around 20 minutes to set up for the first time. Trial ride in to work this morning and they seem fantastic. They didn't move or make any rattling noises whatsoever. Very impressed.
