This is probably going to annoy a few people, but I think that this is one of the best looking bikes on here at the moment!

Well done

As intended and with modern parts can hold they're own with
Today's hardtails

Thanks guys!

took it for a quick spin

love where i live

madness tho.... first ride was at the beach :roll:

need to drop the forks to 80mm as the handling is a bit slower plus its ott 100mm and the handlebars need to be replaced as they are too heavy and too wide. But it will be perfected.....

just ordered another little upgrade package for the bugger....

carbon time!

working away all week so looking forward to grabbing it all when i get home.

need some reccomendations for cranks guys........ i was thinking middleburn rs8 x type cranks? what do you reckon?

use carbon and alloy hope turned up!

dead chuffed with it all, its great quality.

last picture has an odd skew on it tho lol, it makes it look really out of proportion!

need a set of cranks now tho...... i can decide between middleburn rs8 xtypes or shimano XT.

what do you guys reckon?

I like it, christ you got some big shim on that stem bud.

Currently selling the same stem on here, did you buy it new?

looking awsome. i can see you have put alot of love thought time and money into this build. But those forks are way to big for the geometry of that frame. A bit dragster. lol. ideally 80mm travel or 100mm max. but it is looking sexy as a build.
