Sorting out the rest of the build. Hope to get it done in the next few weeks. First outing shall be BPW or Cwmcarn downhill. Lighter than I thought it would be. Couple of imperfections in the paint/lacquer but it’s going to get a beatings so I’m not going to worry about it.

Looks nice that. What’s the build spec going to be?

Love that! I was waiting to order one of those frames when I stumbled across my Mojo.

Build spec.. depends if I go with the ‘promised’ budget build of 2nd hand or more of a ‘split between credit cards’ stealth build 😉 In a perfect world it’d be

Zee Brakes 203/180
Zee Mech 11-36 shadow 10 spd clutch
Zee Crank with a RF Wide/Narrow 34T
150mm stealth reverb 380mm
Hope Evo/Flows/High Roller II or DHF/Ardent
X-Fusion Slant/Pike/Deville (if I can get one second hand)
Truativ Boobar 780mm / 20mm rise
Easton/Thomson stem
SDG Bel-Air

That’d be a pretty much ideal build for me. Not sure how close i’ll get to that.

/whisper…

I can pretty much guarantee that’s exactly the build he will end up with 🙂

Alex, you have more bikes than Halfords 😯

The all important question on everyone’s lips….

What size? 😆

You change bikes far too quick, that must be the 3rd since I had the ST4 off you!

Nice looking though!

Alright less of the character assassination! It’s more of a medium term rental approach to bike ownership.

It’s a medium. Sized and built for going down 🙂

The bike is going to take a couple of weeks because you are going to refinish the fence first, right? 😉

I can help! Woohoo!

It just so happens I have a slightly soiled used SDG Bel Air 🙂 it’s it fine fettle, black and in good nick.

Pics available later, as I’m out working today.

PM in profile Alex and as it’s you, karma 🙂
