Soz, linkys only.

incoming!!!!!

Better ?

As for the bike 😯

… er .. yeah.. well… whatever floats your boat.

Fair play you’ve managed to make it look a Halfords special .imho.

Red and blue? I’d never have thought of that. But why not? You’re not going to lose it in a crowd.

4 months though 😮 So first ride sometime in November ! I guess it wont be staying shiny for long then 🙂

Wow!

How to make a great bike look crap. 😐

Sorry, but that looks awful. Did you bash your head as well when you hurt your shoulder? Lose the rim graphics at the very least!

Did you keep your receipt?

Black pedals would recover it a bit

Strong look. Ignore the haterz.

Actually, the only bit that offends me is the blue stem spacer.

Ok, and the orange graphics on the bar.

Um. Yeah, that blue doesn’t work 😀

Nice though otherwise!

Lovely bike… have to say I’m not a fan of the blue either – I find less is more with those kind of colour highlights. Would probably lose at least 2 out of three decals per wheel too.

Will be interested to hear how tose wheels go for you – what width/weight are the rims?

I used to want a Hightower until I saw your one. A complete double bagger!

At least it will ride well.

And here’s me thinking this was something to do with Police Academy.

Stand firm OP.

Get blue decals for the fork and a blue saddle as well.

Show this lot who’s boss!

You might want to sort out the front wheel QR..

Have you put together a massively expensive bike and then stuck some basic cheap raceface pedals on to match the colours?!

Not my tastes but enjoy, would like to have a go on a hightower at some point.

Tough audience today……

But yeah…. Maybe lose the wheel decals and the blue grips and pedals.

Never was a stealth kinda guy (sort of compensates for my shocking lack of riding skills)

But it’ll be awesome out there because my reserved riding kit of choice will neutralise the colour shocks 🙂

There goes my tiffin

Nice! 😉

If Spiderman had a Hightower?

Discretion should be definitely done on a bike like this. Less is more. Let the bike be the statement not the accoutrements hanging off it

What IS going on with that saddle??!?! 😯

This thread proves conclusively that money can’t buy you A) Taste or B) Skill.

There’s a great frame and fork under there, crying out for some 29er wheels and a far more subtle colour scheme… You’ve got 4 months to sort it out by the sounds of things, so hurry up and get it sorted!

Money > good taste.

and whotf lays out their riding kit to take a pic of it?!

crying out for some 29er wheels

Have you tried the bike in both configurations?

AFAIC it’s sorted…. Now I just need to be fit to get it dirty

It’s like you saw the pike top cap and thought “yep.yep.yep.”
What’s that saddle BTW? Looks fun.
Anyways, I bet it’s a riot to ride.

Take no notice of the haterz Phil – I still love you.

The saddle is an ISM Adamo Peak….relieves all pressure on your “funpipes”

Manhugs when you’re back Andy

Looks great fun dude!!
