New project - 2002 Turner XCE

[Minifreak]

I don't. I sold it to years ago and it felt like I was abandoning my baby. Back in 04, I sent that Fox Vanilla RC shock to Push Industries when they were still a small company in their original building in CO, and it made that frame 10x better.

Wonder what they did to it?

Sod’s Law, Royalmail eventually delivered

And she’s done (other than to change the headset out for the CK sometime).

Very happy with how she looks!

Now with added mud

Looks good Tim, well out of my area though

Very nice!

Very nice, love the muddy pictures as well. For a US built frame they have loads of mud clearance and grease ports at every bushing helps keep everything running sweetly in the british climate.
Shame Turner stopped making MTB frames or I reckon I'd still be on one.

Thank you, got far muddier and wetter too but it was so miserable I just wanted to get the bike washed and then me when I got in or, I’d have taken more pics on the first outing.

It is a beautifully designed and built frame, they still sell bikes?

Chris King headset now fitted along with some larger tyres - Continental Mountain Kings, 26 x 2.4 Kevlar bead.
Frame and fork have good clearance so hoping they shall wok well here as really like the 2.2 version on my GT STS and Giant MCM D990.

Hopefully get out on her tomorrow:

Lovely, I'm a fan of those tyres as well. The 2.4" are great. I'll have to dig out a photo of my RFX, your XCE is looking pretty similar now!
