Yes, it was me

With the help of Mr Zero, I've secured an early Fat SAB for a great price.. This is going to be Beaut.. Respray, shock rebuild, pivot bushings replacement, the works..

Have a stack load of great kit to go on this too so it's going to be a bloody cracking Xmas in London for me

Looks like a nice project, although I suspect that the rear end lacks a bit of stiffness.

Matt,

nice deal! Looks like you will indeed have a lot of projects on the go when you get back to Blighty!

Nice and simple looking aren't they. My kind of FS frame.

Nice buy.

we're saying nothing Gus!

Matt - nice buy with SAB frame. That will make a sweet build. Are you considering AMP forks? Theres some on 'bay now.

Cheers guys, it should make a really nice project.. Going to take a bit of time [like maybe from now until November 15 ] to work out what colour I'm gonna spray the front triangle.. Argus did the job on my GT so I reckon I'll get a few quotes from them; at the moment I'm gunning for the green one side/blue t'other job as featured in MTB Pro here and here..

As for suspension forks, I've never had anything other than Rock Shox

The blue/green will look . I could suggest another combo but thats for my winter project and wouldn't suit a SAB anyway.

Mag21SL Ti's are the obvious choice forkwise but I think some AMP's might look good. Just my opinion.

Don't pretty it up too much or you might not want to ride it...

That is good advice, it's nearly going that way, gotta reign it in a bit.. Wanna be able to ride the thing hard..
