Finally completed and taken for a spin last night, apologies for the crappy phone camera pic.

and… erm… do you like it?

dude…more pics and whats it like, how does it compaire etc etc 🙄

Will sort out more pics when I get home. It rides a dream feels so much more planted than my old Blur which I loved. The pushed shock on it is way better than the standard RP23, will give it a proper outing at the weekend and exper with fork length etc..

very very tempted, did you build or buy it fully built?

Nice – at some point I really need to get my old 4-bar 5 Spot stripped down and sent for a respray, as it’s getting pretty tatty these days. Wonderful bikes though; I still love riding mine as much as the day I first got it, and I still have no desire to swap it for any of the newer designs.

Happy riding – although it would definitely look better without the mudguard.

yeah take that shit off! 😆 😉

Be interesting to see if that bike goes anywhere near any mud give that it’s been wrapped in cotton wool for the last 12 months 😉

Oi, only got it in November and it’s only been built up for about a month, well maybe a bit longer

Agree looks better without the Crud Guard but necessary evil round our parts
