    Lovely looking bike. Think you’ll need a big mower for your garden 😉

    I like those, whatis the paint job on the frame like. Past experiences with a cheap(ish) frame (ragley mmmbop) had very thin, easily chipable paint.

    Lovely location. 😀

    Looks lovely! I wish they offered some RS forks.
    Is it not anodized?

    Paint seems decent quality, it’s kind of metallic up close, nice and even with a good thick lacquer on top. I’ve got the invisiframe kit on it too, which took a few hours to fit but is easy enough.

    ska – you can choose Revs or Pikes instead of the Sweeps.

    Very nice and a proper MTB location too, jealous !

    You might want to adjust the brakes/shifters to rotate them a little btw

    The bars are turned more than they look in that picture! They’re just right for my big monkey hands 🙂

    I wasn’t going to mention the amount of bar turning but………….too late.

    I was kneeling down so as to get the rockery behind my pond in the shot.

    Does Glencoe shop still have the advert for Lady Garden Services up?

    I shall check at the earliest opportunity. Can’t imagine I would miss such a notice, but you never know.

    Ah, you are referring to the downward angle of my brakes – seems the school of thought has moved on since I last read a what angle for your brakes article! I shall give the 21st century advice a whirl.

    Very nice, love the colour. Ride well? Is the head angle slack or does it just look like it?

    Rides lovely. Climbs well and just rolls down rocky stuff really nicely. HA is 67 degrees.
