Lovely looker. What did that build set you back?
I'd be very interested to hear an honest account of how that bad boy climbs.Posted 1 year ago # -
ooo, it's the colour of my nan's piss! You won't attract the klunge on that!
Heh, I was gonna get a yellow one, glad I got a black. Photos of my completed build will be up tomorrow.
Welcome to the Mega club!Posted 1 year ago # -
Purple!! Did you nip out in the delorean

Sorry for yet another sizing question, how tall are you and what size is that?
Thanks
Hugh

Full build - £1800 (with a couple used parts)
I'll report back on how it climbs, geometry seems good though, paint finish is very good, and the graphics are much better than on the black and silver frames that I seen today.
Rorschach - You can't see in this picture but I have purple chainring bolts and inner ring too!

Hugh, its a medium and im 5'11".

looks mint fairplay

I'm trying to see what I dislike about the bike and apart from being undecided about the saddle there's not much I'd change. Maybe the handlebars' colour?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Thanks for that, I'm 6ft and hoping a medium will fit ok for the climbs as I prefer a smaller frame.
No doubt the seat will go high enough for yourself but is there any post to spare?
Nice build by the way, looks really nice in yellow and black.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Hugh, there's plenty more seatpost there (400mm seatpost), I reckon the medium would suit you fine.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Looks ace, love the garish yellow, but that seatpost is wrong wrong wrong. Surely a 'mega' bike needs a dropper seatpost anyway.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Looks nice, though I would prefer the bars to match the seatpost if I'm being picky
Posted 1 year ago # -
Thanks again....may just go for it then!

Grum - There will be a Reverb on it soon as I have the cash, not to worry.
Despite the how much of a stir the purple seatpost has caused, it's well made, light, with a good clamp and at £22 nothing comes close.

Front tyre on the wrong way.

"Front tyre on the wrong way"
Not if you want better rolling and braking?
Its not like HRs ride terribly that way around"Despite the how much of a stir the purple seatpost has caused, it's well made, light, with a good clamp and at £22 nothing comes close"
Superstar?
I dunno, I'd say this was close:

Dunno if its the angle, but the BB looks really high?
Seatpost looks awesome. Purple lockrings for the grips and it would look sick.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Actually they highroller will roll and brake better if mounted correctly. You would run it the wrong way on the rear for better grip.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I can't quite make it out in the picture, but I thought it was mounted for braking/rolling? ie ramps facing forward?
Posted 1 year ago # -
that looks sweet
also yeah, change the front tyre round
Posted 1 year ago # -
Maybe my cheapo laptop screen is playing tricks on me, but it looks the right way around to me, i.e. with ramps on the leading edges, and if that is the case, Maxxis tend to agree!
Posted 1 year ago # -
And when you decide to sell the seatpost, please let me know (as long as it's 27.2mm).
Posted 1 year ago # -
I think that looks nice, no view on the tyres just run them how you like
Posted 1 year ago # -
it's sweet
Posted 1 year ago # -
you can probably tell the maxxis is the wrong way round as the logo should be on the other side of the wheel if mounted correctly.
Posted 1 year ago # -
That looks great - loving the yellow and purple combo

Too small frame+steep seat angle+in-line seat post+50mm stem=Hitting knees on bars?

No point, they won't report back that it's crap or even mediocre even if it is.
They've bought the dream and stumped up the cash, so it will be the best thing eversorry for the cynicism
