I bought the Ritchey Chicane (https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=226262&highlight=Chicane) from MisterMo and...
OMFG. One of the best riding frames I have owned. Super comfy, it turns and burns almost as well as my Masi 3v and is really stable. Tom got this one right. I fitted it with Campy Chorus brakes (thanks Oldpotatoe) and I can get 32s on it...barely. I'll need to do a bit of measurement because the front tire rubs slightly when I'm out of the saddle swinging the bars.

I'm happy you're happy with it - I tried to pull the trigger on that one, but you beat me to it.. Glad to hear it's a good one. And if you tire of it in time, maybe I'll still get a chance to give it a go.

Looking forward to your build pics!

For those that can see teh Google: A requisite garage door shot. The build came straight off my previous bike. Don't judge me.
