Looks good! I have a similar effect on one of my frames.

Both of these are awesome, but the pink is right up my street.

Guessing both are custom paint?

Mines rubystone red and I guess whatever blue the painter had lying around to match the limited edition Chris king wheels.

So excited for this bike and the only thing my LBS will let me see is that one pic above.

New bike day. Nothing too exciting (Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1), but felt amazingly responsive compared to my electric road bike. Sorry for the poor pic.

The looks ACE! I would imagine the weight saving on this new bike makes it feel like a sports car

I see you also went to the same school of photography as myself

Yeti SB140 - christened today in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Yes, 7.6kg I think, compared to 19kg Obviously no assistance, but after stepping up cycling since November on Zwift, I'm over 5kg lighter and a lot stronger, so it's only the hills that are particularly noticeable (this is derestricted but if it was limited to 15mph there wouldn't be much difference anyway).

Picked up a Cube Stereo 160 the other day. Overall very happy. Now need to sell my Vitus Nucleus to make way.

Picked this up last week off eBay.

Only upgraded the tyres to 2.6 Rekon Maxterra front and 2.4 Ardent rear.

Also upgraded the 150mm house dropper to a Fox 175 slammed and to 800mm carbon bars with a 50mm e13 stem.

It feels like I have stolen it though

The rear shock being so flush to the seat tube really cleans up the silhouette. Very nice.

Go on then, how did you pay for it?

It came with almost new CB Stamp 7 which I sold for £70 already. Put those cheapos provisionally until my Time MX4 pedals arrive.

£1,200 even with the upgrades as they were covered by the proceeds of the bits I sold. It has probably covered 50 miles in 3 years. Not bad for full CF, M1700, full GX Eagle, nice performance Fox suspension with Grip 2. G2 RS brakes.

I do like everything about Masons, and they're definitely where my money will go if/when I upgrade. Although I didn't realise until after I'd settled on it, my Kinesis R1 is one of his too, so seems like my attraction is consistent!

I love my Mason.

That's a great price, I'm calling the cops
