    Last Herb FR, 165mm rear travel.
    Took a few pics so thought i’d share and yes it was cleaned in the dark…
    Bought as frame only and transferred almost all the parts across, some of them like the wheels are a good few years old. Any and all comments welcome. Looking forward to seeing what direction the thread may take – I can spot many “problems” in the pictures already.

    Spec as you see it:
    Last Herb FR – small with 165mm monarch plus
    Marzocchi 44 RC3 Ti 140mm
    Mavic XM719 on Hope Pro II hubs
    Hope Headset
    Gravity Light 60mm stem
    Nukeproof Warhead bars 760mm 20mm rise
    Hope mono M4, 203 front, 180 rear, braided hoses
    SLX double+bash (26T/36T) cranks
    PG980 cassette
    Wellgo MG1 Ti pedals
    XT front mech i think
    X7 medium cage rear mech
    X7 shifters
    tioga seatpost (cheapy till i get a reverb)
    Charge spoon saddle
    e.13 DRS chain guide
    2.35 maxxis minion F, 2.1 Crossmark rear (not tubeless yet)
    33lbs all in.
    For proper DH duties I swap over to 180mm Totems and a superstar DH wheelset with 2.5/2.3 dual ply tyres.
    If anyone is interested I’ll repost my long and rambling review from another forum – or ask me and I’ll email it.

    Could use a chain maybe. Nice fence.

    Forks look a bit too small for it. I think some 160mm Lyriks would work better.

    Yep, chain is on the side in the kitchen, cleaned and dried seperately.

    Aiming to borrow some fox 36’s soon but I found the 44’s just as good as solo air totems on the forest of dean DH tracks – they are astoundingly good. I really don’t need 160 of travel for a lot of the riding I do (trail centre style stuff). Only reason I’d want to go to 160 at the front would be to raise the bars up a bit. Going to try spacers under the stem instead of on top for a few rides.

    Is there any restriction on how far you can drop the seatpost in the frame? Looks like the rocker mount might impede it…
