Ive only ever built one bike before and really enjoyed it so i gave it another try.

Its not finished yet, the forks are now off being serviced and i've switched the blue bits to red bits.

Thought i'd see what you guys think as its only my second try any opinions thoughts would be great.

Oh and the saddle height/position is not sorted yet.

Thanks to everyone on here who gave me advice and/or sold me parts.

oh and i've upgraded the chainset and mechs from 2010 deore to 2010 SLX. just waiting for delivery of the chainset.

Nice, they've made them look a lot better than they used to.

its a graphite grey looks really nice, really dark sometimes but when the light hits it it shines.

I quite fancy one of those myself – but without the TT chainset 😆

ha yeah, i bought the wrong one like a muppet, its gone now like i said the SLX 44t is on it's way to me right now.

Good effort! The bike looks great – hope you enjoy it!

cheers Glenn, i can't wait for the forks to come back now. It is sat in the little room out back without a chainset or forks and it looks kind of sad lol.

Nice Ikea wardrobe…… 😉

Sweet bike BTW.

Much nicer looking than my XTC!

I think it's horrible. You should get yourself a rockhopper team or something. In red maybe.

😉

Pook i actually really miss my red rockhopper pro, that frame was awesome. If it had of had disc mounts i would have kept it forever.

Her is the massive step backwards for the build ha:

and:

Hopefully the forks and new chainset should be here before the weekend.

And here it is totally finished.

The TT chainset has gone and a new 44t SLX was arrived earlier today.

Forks came back from LOCO Tuning (excellent service may i add) with 2010 internals and it's ready to ride.

Bring on the weekend!

Just saw this thread, looking good Mosey, thanks for the kind words!
