Will let you know about the 19th Si, may be able to make it

Got the Zaskar done tonight , looking fantastic, built in a week too, bit of a record for me , was'nt wanting it hanging around too long like the other "projects" though, had a bit of a sketch with the front canti hanger but all working now, just needing some little crimp things for the ends of the cables, will get those from Halfords tomorrow, still to get the stickers from Gil, sent the money last Friday so should'nt be too long, would take it for a ride over the weekend but not sure if i want to get it dirty before getting the stickers :roll:

Will stick some new pics in my project thread tomorrow

Sounds very nice jimbob, tapping floor waiting for pictures, don't do a big eck on us and forget to post them

Glad you got the forks sorted and I'd wait until you decal it up before riding but I'm ar that way

Will this be the default trail centre bike then?

Yeah, i probably will wait till i get the stickers

This will be my main bike for now, will keep the E3 for old skool XC stuff, planning a big hit bike for Trail centres next year though (possible Kona Stab or Orange Patriot ?), so i can really do myself some damage
