He came to me at the end of summer last year to build him up a bike for ‘next year’. After forum searching and Ebay scouring (thanks to all on here who sold me various gubbins along the way) we ended up building this little ripper:

He gave me an ideal spec of the build when we first talked about it and happy to say apart from the SLX crank (which we couldn’t turn down at the price for a new one) then its exactly what he wanted….well almost as he had specced Revs not Pikes but again another bargain that couldn’t be turned down.

Here is said mate after his first ride on the bike:(love a thumbs up)

Flame away muddyfunkers

Looks good, you even got the clothes pegs to line up.

I like that. Very sensible build.

Hadn’t noticed the pegs, must be the STW way ingrained within 😀

Yeah go on then, how much?

that is all you need for a good quality MTB and it looks stunning… kudos

Great build very practical

The slabbing on the entrance to that little play house is a total joke, never mind the state of the grass.

Bike looks lovely

Thanks for the comments, mates proper pleased so thought we’d show the world. (this place is the whole of the world isn’t it?)

Garden wise…damn sight better than last year and will be finished this summer…ish

Post ride? He and the bike look way too clean.

Is that a parking ticket on the trampoline?

Pitiful rockery.

Very nice. What was the total cost for the build?

GoPro is mounted all wonky on the helmet. 😐

Maybe his head is wonky, ergo the go-pro is level in use???

You’re so cruel….

DrP

refreshingly un-niche – nice!

I used to have a stumpy with brain shock and thought it was the business once set up right.

Looks good!

Post ride? He and the bike look way too clean.

My first thought 😆

sort the bottom of the fence out you can see through the broken one to next door, grey pipe work looks wonky, rockery needs attention and the trampoline paving slab makes me itch….

nice bike though

The gnomes like the bike too
