Re: Re:

Great build Mark. A bike that looks that good can't possibly ride badly. Looking forward to hearing about the first ride

Cheers Mike, really looking forward to riding it, well, riding anything at the moment, what with school holidays and the weather i havent been out for a while

Re: Re:

That's gone together really nicely, and a usable build spec too. 737/9 is probably my favourite groupset, XTR quality but without the associated fragility.

Thanks mate

I really like the 737 group for riding too, really well made. The fact i had a full set and its from '94 means it was an easy choice really. The only thing i dont like about it though, is the shape of the cranks, dont know why but never really liked them, usually sell them on and use an aftermarket one, but the only one i had spare didnt really look right on the bike so went with it for this, as its going to be a rider

Looks great Mark. The colour matched fork legs really tie things together

This sums up 90's mountain biking for me - solid build, fun geometry, bit of bounce... yup, I'd love to spend a few hours in the hills, nipping up and down single track/fire track with this one

Hi Mark.

Good to meet you the other day and thanks for the Rocky Mountain... Who knows, it may up pictured on here one day.

Just wanted to say this is a sweet looking bike - and even better in real life. Good call on the Syncros kit - it looks fab!

All the best
