Guard Mogg on duty... and tempted to have a blast...

Certainly not a lightweight but good fun to ride. Very steady when giving it some beans downhill and can't wait to get it out on the Spanish trails where I think it will be right at home .

Thanks for looking.
Alex.

[Alex Creasey]

Thankyou

Lol, absolutely no idea...... Reflector bracket?

 

[MAXTHEROTTI]

looks superb

was going to ask the same question about the hole lolol


and keep updated once shock arrives

 

[Alex Creasey]

Well I've got to say, even changing from the short travel MC Aftershock to the Risse was night and day and improved the ride noticably... Should be even better with a tunable modern rear shock.

 

[cyfa2809]

yes very nice
i was gong to ask what the hole is for
reflector

most likely a headtube badge hole?

oh and you mounted your headset the wrong way round!

 

[jamabikes]

think the hole is for attaching a steering stop for triple clamps.

think the hole is for attaching a steering stop for triple clamps.

surely that would be a sizely stop??? wouldnt they be on the sides instead?

True... Didn't the later SA's have that stop under the main down tube?
