Just an update on my V20 build and progress. USPS have failed to deliver my shiny new BB from Chris King at RWC - last I heard they got it to Auckland and after a couple of weeks sent it off to Switzerland! (where it remains). So got tired of waiting (now almost 2 months) with my partly assembled V20 and went and bought a Shimano cheapy BB. Finally got everything completed by June 20th and have been riding for just over a week now.
The first couple of very short rides were very wobbly but I am now progressing well. I am following the Cruzbike learn to ride advice and are going through the suggested exercises. Still tentative starting and making figure of eight's but it is getting easier. I love the bike and can report no issues with my chronic back problems - yay!!
Have only done around 50km so far and will soon venture out on more public terrain. One thing I wasn't really expecting is the number of people who want to stop and talk to you about the bike. When I eventually join my old (DF) cycling buddies I think it is going to attract a lot of attention. Will try and post a picture of the bike at some stage.
