Have fun with the forks, the lower legs are slightly tapered so it's impossible to get them covered properly, as anyone who gets close to mine will be able to tell 
Be careful with overlapping the bike tape too, it's great stuff but if water gets down there then the dirt will get trapped and show up, so use it rather sparingly.

yeah, it's just a shame i can't come and it's to far to travel on the train plus i wouldn't know where to start. i hate living in the south but i love my job so there is no chance i'll be moving up' north anytime soon.
actually my sister lives in girvan i might be able convince my dad to go visit my sister and i'll be able to hitch a lift.
i'll get back to you if i can come.

I did an international money transfer through my bank (HBOS). I cost me £14 to do so IIRC.
Yeewwwwww - I'm rather excited, can't wait to see the pics.
got it sorted, yay bike is ordered.
not happy with halifax online system took me ages to set up and now i have made the payment but there is no record on the account , hopefully it'll go through ok.
if you get to Girvan - I'll pick you up on the saturday and take you there no problems!
enjoy the bike - looks superb
that'll be great, where abouts are you coming from?
i don't want you going to far out your way, as my dad could drop me off a glentress, he's easy going so i'm sure he won't mind.
I stay in Prestwick so even if you jumped on the train at Girvan to Ayr (about 20 mins) we could go from there.
Otherwise (it's no great hassle but a fairly early start) - i would get to Girvan and then basically have to double back to ayr and go from there as the fastest route is up towards Glasgow.
We can sort it nearer the time if needed.
i can't wait till mine comes, the geo is pretty much same as my 140mm bike except the HTA 66.5 v 68 1.5 degrees difference and there's a few cm difference on the wheelbase.

Go on, get one, it'll be hilarious what with your Tracer being specc'd out to hell
The Tracer is amazing, but the as I mentioned, it feels a tad small in the M, which the TT is quite short and would prefer the wheelbase to be a bit longer.
Hilarious, so much so...I can;t hardly breathe.

You certainly can't punctuate.
He obviously has accidentally pressed the wrong button and so what if he can't punctuate, this is a public forum not a test.
