This morning I went to drop off my sliders, and show them where and how to bolt them on. I’m really hoping now that they don’t make a real mess of that job. Otherwise my bike is looking pretty smart.

A few pics I took this morning with my phone. I don’t have any photo editing software on my office machine so I couldn’t compress them anymore than what my phone did, so I just settled for resizing them (originals were all 1600×1200). The colour is a bit leeched and the photo’s dark, but that’s mostly because there wasn’t a whole lot of light around, and I wasn’t going to bother with the “flash”.

The paint is currently a matt finish, so I don’t know if that will change. I suspect that once they’ve put the stickers on they will clearcoat the entire thing, which will give it the gloss finish. Either way I don’t mind, I quite like the matt look right now. The stickers are done and are a light silver/grey; they should look really good once they’re on the bike.

Finally… the big question is: when will I get this thing back? Who knows really; they seem to think the brake disc will arrive this week, but now they don’t have the mirrors??? *Sigh*, I can ride without mirrors, but I don’t want to ride without indicators. So I hope they at least have those at least.
