Sorry for the wait, here are some pics of the tyre clearance on my Palace R with 27 mm Vittoria Open Paves on H Plus son TB14 rims. Pics arent great but there is a good 3-4 mm minimum clearance at the tightestest spots. The camera angles dont quite show it greatly.

The guy at this link [/url]https://www.facebook.com/bowmancycles.u ... heater[url] runs 27mm as well.

That is a nice colorway :thumbup:
Have only ever seen the green & the jade/black

Did see the special run of all black awhile back too.

When did they offer this silver black version?

There was a mistake with my order back in October and I was offered either a green frame or a refund - I said I would keep my order if they gave me a Ltd edition and waited it out!

Glad I waited, it's gorgeous. They were only released a couple of weeks ago, check the website and see if there's any left.

It's been built, and I saw it today though yet to bring it home. Very impressed with what I saw. Zero issues with clearence, plenty of room wityh 25's on a 17 internal, 25 external rim. What phot posting method are people using on here these days since photobucket went to the dogs?

Here's a quick instagram link so people can see it before I put something proper on:

Hi thanks for the interest.

Unfortunately i haven't been able to pick my bike up yet, nevermind ride it. The reason this bike was built is my previous bike was written off when a car hit me. I had to have surgery on my leg, and since this time I've had further complications and now have cellulitis so it's taking longer to recover than I had intially hoped. As soon as i'm able to collect the bike I'll weigh t and post some decent pictures. Bowman have asked me for some hi res pictures that they can use, so I'm keen to do this asap. A ride report my take a little longer depending on how long it takes me to recover from my injuires, and I think it will take sometime for me to get back to fitness.

Thanks. I used post images but didn;t like the adverts that come up alongside the image when you click on it, so I deleted it.

Just use the board's own attachments feature. You can copy the image location and put it between img tags if you want to embed it in the post; the fact it doesn't end in jpg doesn't stop it working. The only downside (aside from the slight hassle of getting the image address) is the thumbnails at the end of the post.

The significant upside is that we're not relying on some external site.
