The bike looks great. I am now inspired to go with matte grey when I have my frame repainted!

Thanks
Go for it brother ! This one is powder coated and is as tough as they come . Recently found out that the process adds a bit more weight to the frame than normal enamel though .
Went out for a nice 1 1/2hr blast tonight
was good but for some aching hands . May put on the Judy XCs . Will lift the stem up a bit first to see if that helps . Although it will bring the bars even closer :roll: Mike

Re:
This has inspired me to buy a Bonty also, so a 95 "race" is due any day, owned just about everything else MTB wise :facepalm: under the Sun except a Bonty.
Did the forks come with it?

As mentioned before, the colorscheme of you bike inspired me to do mine as well. Here's mine in your scheme

Re: Re:
Highly recommended
I love riding this bike . Better now I've put the Judys on it . I preffered the look with the Orange F7 forks I put on (bought on the forum and colour matched) , but the riding position put a bit too much strain on my wrists . I could ride for maybe 2hrs , but more would be too uncomfortable . With the sus forks I feel I can ride for longer .
Casper , you've nicked my bike ! Looks good mate are you pleased with the ride ? What size tyres did you go for in the end ?
Here's mine now , rusty stem bolts left in deliberately . Well , I don't want it to look too new do I , it is 19 years old

Re:
That looks great! This is the exact color scheme I wanted to go with. Dark grey with yellow trim decals. I thought I had never seen one in that color scheme but I wonder if I saw a picture of yours in a google search and the idea stuck in the back of my head. :facepalm:
Maybe I should just do orange like a million other Bontragers. There is a reason why there are so many orange ones after all. It looks amazing!
