Re: i've got a TRANNY locked in my shed.....

thanks man!
this thing is stupidly light, couldn't believe it when i went to go pick it up!
singlespeed is taking some time to get used to, but will give it a while, seems silly low geared at first, but starting to get the hang of it!
paint job is awesome, it goes from almost vivid emerald green to gold with a greenish tinge depending on the light and angle, it is a properly pretty bike!
a little surprised at the lack of 'TRANNY' jokes so far too!!

Best colour to! Always fancied one. Go 2x10 XTR and sell it to me please!!!

Lovely bike, a good friend of mine sold his frame a month or so back... same colour scheme, the thing rode really, really well!

Re: i've got a TRANNY locked in my shed.....

got a bundle of bits with it too, almost enough to go 9 speed if i decide to!
it's all SRAM stuff though, never used it, always been Shimano, is their stuff any good?
got a pair of X9 shifters that bolt on to Formula brakes, an XO rear mech that actually looks really nice, all cnc machined and carbon, a SRAM cassette and the two missing noir chainrings, only need a front mech and a chain!
2x10 XTR does sound good though!
as for the ride, it's fast, no wasted pedal energy, the thing just flies!
and the colour.... well i love carbon fibre in its natural finish, and nice paint, which is why i'd been saving to finally finish the RC300, but when i saw this, i knew i had to try and get it, and the even though it looks amazing in pictures, they do not do it justice, green painted carbon rocks!!

Re: i've got a TRANNY locked in my shed.....

I've always used shimano but have had an SRAM x9/xo setup recently and was massively impressed. Not sure whether I'm too stuck in my ways though!
