Now just hang on a bloody minute!
Don't you be bloody coming around here with your "I'm fully satisfied with.... this" and you "I can't find fault with .... that"! Where the hell do you think that's going to lead?
Have a think about what it is you've done. And come back with something a bit more along these lines:

I too am very pleased with my new Soul what I have been riding for the past few weeks. It is a lot of fun. I also don't have any pictures of it, mostly because I have been too busy riding it and having fun on it.

I bet you've not sorted out the brake hose lengths or the fork steerer that you left a bit too long 'just in case' either!

The hoses and steerer are fine, thankyouverymuch (came off another very similar sized bike). The gear cables are a right state, though, and I'm certain that the mudguards would cause conniptions...
And yes, the garden is a complete bombsite.

What? It's muddy! Don't worry, I take them off if I'm going to a trail centre to ride round the carpark.

He flipping does you know! And my Soul is much better looking than his.Posted 4 months ago # -
someone must have a picture of a Cotic Soul they want to share with the group?

Go on then. 100mm forks, flats bars and 90mm stem. Damn thing fliiiiies along. Can't wait for the dry, dusty summer.
Bought on a whim 2nd hand off 'ere, honestly thought I'd hate it, it will now never leave.
EDIT : Yes, the brake hoses have now been shortened. Must do some more pics.
Posted 4 months ago # -
like that - been trying to get all components on mine either black or white.
You happy with the Kendas and the 100mm travel?

trailofdesctruction looks good
I built my lad one up from a broken frame I got off here and had repaired and powdercoated (rather duff picture, I'm afraid);

Yes, we demand answers and scanned receipts for you full bicycle owning history.

turns in better, holds its line better, soaks up the rough trails better than anything i've ridden in the last 15 or so years.
(if you must know, that list would include, zaskars's, explosif, cinder cone, humu, stumpy's, Inbred's, King Kahuna, Mosquito, tange prestige, LTS-1, Prophet, CAAD4/5, F800/900/1000, Jekyll, Turner 5, Maxlight, 456, & others ive no doubt forgotten)limited experience of full suss, but prefer lower maintenance.
I just wanted the world to know. Its a great feeling when you feel you've finally found that elusive cycling Nirvana.
The biggest change in the last couple years has probably been switching to a much shorter stem than an old XC die hard would deem natural.. 50/60mm these days.. with a nice wide bar, it's like night/day compared to riding older twitchy speed machines.
I'll stick a pic up tonight fo' shizzle

trailofdestruction - that looks like a very nice s/h buy. Dare we ask how much you paid ?

Do. You can never have too many Soul pics. Black or Orange? or ???
I need to get a photo of mine with my new blue Sunline bars.
