Re:
This is the last of Iphone photos i promise Well we're at the final stages of the build and still i'm not happy with it this has been a long build but i'm nearly there. I'm happy with the look of the bike but its the little details which my eye keeps getting drawn too which are bugging me. First up the XT comp pedals have seen better days and need to be replaced with much better versions. Then it's the XT seatpost,looks good in the photo but it's worn as they all do lower down the tube,has to be a new one The grips are going in the bin aswell to be swapped with some odi's and then the digital camera will get some nice photos of it
I've been out on it and it feels so quick,which is what I was hoping for because the plan was to build it as a bike i'd love to race back in the day ie full XT and Tange Prestige,i'm chuffed i've achieved that part.
B.O.T.M entry,i hope so when it's finished this month

Re:
Looking good mate. I know you asked for opinions earlier in the thread but seeing the complete bike I reckon black chainrings would complete the stealthy look.
