I love it

Actually I prefer the look of this to how mine was before I got the new frame. I think its the red forks that are making this look so nice.

I would fit some black Middleburn rings with red bolts to complete it

Well to answer the question above, I can highly recommend them. The Z2s were fantastic today, it took me a while to get used to the geometry of the bike and how it cornered, but after an hour I was flying. Wet roots and slippy slate caused no issues with me, the bike or the forks.

Two thumbs up.

Couldn't help sneak in a photo to prove it's being ridden.

Sadly my back's give up the ghost now and I'm struggling to even walk. Perhaps it's in protest at the lack of a boingy back end...the bikes.

I think that calls for a retro USE suspension seatpost then! Any excuse to spend more money on cool retro stuff

Well done for getting her dirty!
