Must be completed and in rideable state!
Here's mine, I rode it up and down the street, worked great. It'll be muddy this afternoon...
Saddle is going to be a yellow Titec Berserker and grips will be yellow Nukeproof. Big ring will be removed when bashring arrives. At the moment the front changer is locked down to granny and middle. Sram 2x10 gearing fitted.
Getting it lifted up from my cellar workshop it felt quite light but I did notice the longer wheelbase!
It's got a Sunline 1.5 stem, will be swapped for a Syncros model when I decide on exact length.

mega lego build
where did you get the kick stand?
Posted 12 months ago # -
It's a tent pole hammered into the lawn (shhh!)
Coincidentally I sold my Lego on Ebay to help fund the Mega purchase!Posted 12 months ago # -
Crests on a mega?
Posted 12 months ago # -
Wheels are from my 575, I may upgrade to more burly wheels later. Crests have been ridden in the Peaks for a year shod with 2.5 tyres, a few stone-strikes but no dings, I'm nimble!. Rear has Sapim Strong, front has Sapim Race. I'm planning to get Flows on Nukeproof hubs later.

Did they send you the wrong coloured frame Captain?
Looks ready for some serious action, enjoy

Are NukeProof catalogue frames or do they have their own R&D?

z1ppy... Thought a yellow frame might be overkill! Also hoping that the raw ano will carry on looking good for a while. No paint to scuff or chip. Off up to Lee and Cragg Quarry later for 1st proper shakedown ride.
The highly scientific bez up and down the street and down the steps in the park blast was promising though

I think that looks very nice Captain, but how tall are you?
Posted 11 months ago # -
Captain - that looks great. I really prefer ano finishes to paint, and it will age much better.

Finished mine this morning. I'm 6ft and a medium is fine for me ( i do like a smaller frame but it gives ample room, especially with a 400mm post).
Looking at purchasing a reverb for it at some point.
Thanks
Hugh

3 rides in now. Impressed so far. Yet to commit to steerer length....
Went exceptionally well both up Keppel Cove and then down Dollywaggon / Grisedale today, though the coffee from the chaps selling from their tent at the top may have played its part in the latterPosted 11 months ago # -
Chapaking - I'm bang on 6ft and I reckon the large is perfect for me.

I am very interested in more details of you ride over Helvyllyn as walked it a couple of weeks ago
and certainly wondered about the rideability of down DollywagonI will be attempting it in July on my Mega the same way up and down

anyone ridden a bottlerocket and a mega to compare them?
Posted 11 months ago # -
@max..please which size is it...large ??
thanksPosted 11 months ago # -
Final build, might change the bars but happy for now:
Posted 11 months ago # -
Accu - large. I'm 6'1
Trout - think rocks. It's a great challenge to ride, steep steps on Dollywaggon and then a good run out down Grisedale. Always feels epic - and the ride from summit to the top of Dollywaggon is ace too.
Better when not windy.Posted 11 months ago #
