Awesome! Love seeing something different every now and again.....Tricons suit it perfectly! :cheers:

Wicked! Agree, Tricons suit it, stock up on spare spokes though, I've seen a few go...

I'm waiting for new silver skewers.

I have always had a sweet spot for Simplons... and this is no exception.

Throw on a set of high profile carbon clinchers... and it will be rocking!

Congrats on your new Pavo! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed my Pavos! It's is certainly one of the best frames out there.

That looks really great!

[cazone]

Thanks all.

First impression is great.
Very stable bike, yet quick and responsive.
Stiff enough (for my enormous überpower) and comfortable.

PS: 44mm carbon tubulars are planned for this summer.
