There is drip feeding and there is water torture...

Waiting for decals, headset, wheels and forks.....

Re: Project: Bandwagon, Spooky Version 2.0

Gathering bits and pieces...... everything will be black or silver. Gil's sorting the new frame decals out. Forks will be Manitou Mattocs, 140mm in black. Wheels are black Hopes laced with black spokes to black Sun-Ringle MTX33 rims which are currently being built. The saddle will be a black and red SDG Ti-Fly, headset will be a black Hope one. I'll be running a prototype Rideworks enduro chainguide and also their one of their proto bottom brackets. Shifting is courtesy of XT.

The Burgtec stem may be swapped for a Brooklyn Machine Works Trail Rat one.

Not much sadly, waiting for the Hayes Group to start another production run of Mattoc forks.

Gonna be nice, but I don't get this tantric bike building. Just bloody get on with it.

Just done something horrible (again) to my Spooky Darkside - turned it into a rigid semi fat 67.5er for the winter. All parts carefully chosen in my signature tombola style, according to what was left in the parts bin.

Lots of chops and changes, and yes, the colour clash is quite deliberate, I don't follow trends! Happy to report that it goes like the proverbial poop off a shovel! Now to get it dirty.....
