Had a test ride round the block and it's really nice, surprisingly light and quick to get upto speed. A very capable addition to the stable. I think it need new tyres and wheels trued.That looks ace! Bet it's great fun to ride when you've got it how you want it.
The contis will probably be getting binned as the sidewalls are quite perished and the tread on the rear is pretty bald. They are a good tyre off road but found them lethal on tarmac, felt like riding on Ice. I may replace with XC Fire Pros as they are quite cheap.I quite like the Conti X-Kings - they're really quite fast for a trail capable tyre. Though if you're using it on tarmac, some slicks will make it go like an absolute rocket!
