Having developed a want for a hybrid/road bike and a mid 90's MTB and not being able to justify both, I had to combine the two! Not one for the purists but I'm really pleased with it, I'm still on the look out for some ti bars and retro stem but there not proving easy to come by. Also, I could do with a red trimmed seat instead of the blue. Ti stem bolts are on the way. I may swap the fork for some real carbon ones.
What do you reckon guy's? All comments are welcome!

The bike looks real nice, but the fork is a tad bulky for the frame imo. Fast looking thing nontheless!

Like that, is it a 700c fork? think it looks very good and like Major22 - looks fast

Thanks mate, it is fast. The 1x9 gearing 44-11-34 works well as we don't have any hills in Norfolk! Looking at the photo's you're right about the forks, i hadn't noticed in the flesh as they are quite thin if you look front end on.

I like it alot as for the forks I quiet like the chunky look

They are 26inch forks, there are only a few options in this style/size. Another chinese full carbon and some very expensive Ritchey. Fed up with P2's and pace so went for something different!

looks cool, looks fast. i like it. why the flat pedals though, clip in and you will be going even quicker!

Thanks mate, I've always stayed away from clip in pedals - I just don't have the balls! Gonna have to grow a set and give them ago I think!

Love it, looks mucho rapido.... You've inspired me to build up something similar for my daily scoot to work. I haven't got a Ti bike in my shed yet so I guess that's a good enough excuse! I agree, it does need spuds or Crank Bros Eggbeaters though.
