    CK Blue is very different, different jockey wheels. The red looks a bit tatty too, why not take the mech apart and get it all anodised red.

    Sort your stop screws out too!

    Havent set it up yet just looking for a new inner gear cable to fit..
    THEN i'll do the screws.TUT If you would have been more observant theres no cable OR chain on..
    Red looks tatty as i ride it like….
    Not like 50% of people on here who take pics of the MINT CONDTION bikes..
    Spend 2k on a build + then split to sell it … 🙄

    H E L L O ! :mrgreen:

    WTF does that even mean?!

    Riding a bike doesn't scratch the mech. I ride my bike more than most, still like to keep it looking nice. Why bother to get it powdercoated when the other (more obvious) half looks a bit crap was my point!

    Mmm.
    My point is that bikes were made to be riden.DO you ride yours in a Bleeding Bubble then LOL
    Or just look at the weather report for a fewdays to plan a 2hr trip pending wind,rain,temp,moisture,pollen count…?
    I have spent loads of hard earned cash (LIKE yourself}as ive only seen 2 of your bikes & spec is…well……………high but never looks worn or used..Fair play to you for buying exspensive stuff it does do the job & pay for itself sometimes but you have to use it ..

    I have always looked after my bikes & like yourself again TARTED them up in bling what i can afford but theres only so far you can go.

    That Carbon bike a show bike as you'll never blast about on that when the weathers nasty so why bother !
    Its all about a STAEMENT on here IMO..

    Mines better,lighter ,dearer than yours etc etc etc…

    Im all up for bling stuff & making your bike MINT etc but..

    You even said" Dunno if I'll be racing it, to be honest I've had a very expensive month, and it may be back on eBay before long! "

    SAY NO MORE Whats the freeking point then mate.??

    Hmm start a thread looking for responses then insult everyone who contributes…..?

    This was pretty muddy.

    I am lucky enough to be sponsored by a shop, I get bikes heavily subsidised (no way in hell would I be able to afford the sort of bike I do otherwise!). I use it for a season, then sell it and buy a new one, self perpetuating, it only makes sense!

    Anyway, I've no idea why I'm justifying myself to you. I'm not starting threads on my rear mech. Let's have photos of you riding?

    Perhaps you'd like to go for a ride together, somewhere muddy perhaps. I can bow to your superior riding.

    jonnyvegas I'm sensing some anger from you, I think you need to relax a little. You're a verty angry young man.

    Huh? What's the mech got to do with it, although it's a bit odd you're accusing me of just cleaning my bike when you've bothered to dismantle your mech and powdercoat it…

    What is your opinion, I don't understand what you're on about.

    You appear a bit stressed out to me what with all the shouting and swearing and all.

    To be fair to the OP for a DIY job from out of the spares box that mech doesn't look half bad. Mind, it doesn't look half good either.

    Hi Karin, they were out in mid to late 90s i think, you can get the anodised ones at the moment tho i think. Try Ed @ marshalls stevenage if your still in the area.

    Hi, oh, I thought it was a new thing, if it's old I'll just stick with my X0. Is Rob still at Hertford?

    The 'redwin' X.0 mechs are still current, along with green, orange, pink and the stock black. The jockey wheels in that one are KCNC by the looks of it, and the white powdercoated cage is 'custom'.

    They introduced the colours for 2010, there's nothing different about the mech, just the colours.
