Yeah you are right, the RS-1 was a stupid idea

Update

Toptube perfectly paralel to the ground, chainstays going up from dropout to bb :shock:

Rear enrty dropouts

Sturdy...

Bearings going supersmooth again!

Possibly a real challenge could be making the XC LTD mech work with the DX rapidfire unit.

Looking for a Girvin Flextem or Alsop Softride.

:shock: when I first saw the green I did think it was a bit dull but I have to say Melvin, that really is a stunning looker.


and I take back my thoughts

I agree the colour is much better when built. Nice photos

Hi Olli,

Yes, the frameset included the Hothead. Nice piece, very light. I thought HC's came with Hammerhead btw. Why did this one come with Hothead???

HOTHEADS are made from a thinner,lighter tubeset,by nearly the same stiffness !!! By the way,any interests in a little rest decals and an old magazine including GROVE test???
