I just followed DJ's link to the CycleCat kit - looks damn good I must say.

Is the machining quality as good as it looks on the website.

It's better not cheap though, but a good example of "you do get what you pay for"............

Thanks Neil, they look quality! If I do keep the 996 for the road and a few TD's every year then I'll put them on the list I think.

I think Spareshack keep some Cyclecat stuff - not too far from Twickenham? They had some on show at Ally Pally, looked superb (but not inexpensive...).

Now don't go tempting me!!

It's on the list but a low priority - how am I going to convince my wife to let me race if I keep spending money on this bike!

The rearsets are damn nice aren't they!

TP, if you're going racing, spending money on bar risers seems silly, somehow. But, hey, maybe that's just me.

Spareshack are the UK importors of all things CycleCat. The stuff is amazing quality, but as mentioned before, you will have to pay for it

Thats kinda my point Felix ... if I spend money on that bike then there's no chance of her letting me go racing AND spending money there ... the two are definitely mutually exclusive!

Thats not to say I'm going racing yet either - in the early stages of 'discussion' ... but best I hold off on spending money on the 996 for a while ... maybe spending money on my wife instead
