always quite fancied a 5, whats the weight like?

 

[BertR00t]

No scales but is heavier than my Fuel EX8 frame was with the same components. Can't say as I notice it though as it takes off easier and is very chuckable. Also accelerates very well and the rear holds the ground well too.

Nice 5 there buddy, the red goes well,

Are the xo shifters surplus now then.

 

[BertR00t]

Will be in coming weeks. You need some?

Really love this bike! One of the best I've ever seen on this website. Nice work!

 

[BertR00t]

Thanks yeti_bomb. I really like it too.

Got a new shock coming tomorrow and a day off to pig about with nobody home. Hope the fog clears early.

Been a long day but after a bit of fettling it rides like a charm.
