    think your bars look quite nice without grips…

    could you not just hold on tighter?

    I'm going to take issue with that point 🙂

    Looks nice, agree it's stupid that handlebar manufacturers so often put nice decals under the grips!

    Njee, the bike I meant is light considering its travel and intended use and vs stock weight + vs other bikes with as much travel , the wheels, brakes etc are a lot lighter than the stock kit, and it now has slightly smaller but lighter tyres

    The bars are 680 wide and a good width for me, as for brakes, I always go back to mini's, love them, esp the 07's with 160mm rotors…

    Rob – thanks for the offer but I have some yeti odi's comming!!

    Love it. Think that is one of the nicest looking bikes, and love the colour scheme.

    Did you build that up from the F&F that was being sold on e-bay a little while back?

    yes…… well he included a few other bits, but its really just the original F&F

    Nice – I've got a Remedy 7 I got off the 'bay, in standard trim. It's just about usable on a XC route with climbing being just about do-able, but on anything downwards and rough it's superb.

    Well i have only ever been a 1 bike person, so I had to lighten it up for a do it all.. glad as I just found a shop that can get and fit the rear hub conversion!!

    Really? I think you could kit out those Treks with componentry hewn from rotten animal carcass, fitted using a toolkit consisting of a damp mossy twig and half a breezeblock and they'd still be one of the prettiest bikes out there.

    Bloody gorgeous they are.
