Seems like it's taken me ages to get around to building this up - and with the snow set to arrive I'll likely be riding around on the fatbike anyway 🙄

Nice, I wish green was a popular component colour. What bar ends are those?

That's the Cane Creek bar ends. You can mount them with any grip but they work best with an ODI-style bolt on as they replace the outer ring and therefore take up less bar space. They are covered with rubber so also very comfy.

You REALLY need to get a grip of your lawn.

Be awesome if it had black cables IMO

Lovely build. Green cables look a bit fussy to me in the first pic, otherwise spot on.

I think the green is awesome.

Inspired me to kit the HD out in blue links and clamp with some blue cables.

Reminds me of Del-boy's 'Pratmobile' Ford capri for some reason.

Nice! Again I'd prefer black cable outers. I'm really starting to want a 29er. Keeps looking at a Spearfish....

Beautiful green accents.

Don't Superdry brand their stuff in a similar way?

The cables really had to be lime green to match the saddle 🙂

Cable lengths? A bit long because I need to make room for a handlebar roll bag.
Ardents? What was in the garage. I might look for some Beavers.
Spearfish? I did think about it for a long time and when martinxyz was selling his Spearfish frame I almost jumped!

Right, some general housekeeping will sort it out.

Cables/ hoses to be trimmed accordingly to achieve the correct aesthetic, tis like spaghetti junction atm.

You want to wrap front brake hose around the fork leg, much cleaner line.
Your bar ends are pointing to the sky, aim to have theses on the same trajectory as your top tube. (see above)

Oh and black grips/black faceplate required......

Apart from that looks lovely. :mrgreen:

No thanks. I'll take advantage of the very handy hose guide that Rockshox gave me 8)
Your bar ends are pointing to the sky, aim to have theses on the same trajectory as your top tube. (see above)
The "trajectory" is the one that feels comfiest (actually, it's nearer to the angle of the top tube that it would appear in those photos)
Oh and black grips/black faceplate required......
What is it with this place and black? The stem is one I had around - I've not decided on length yet. It's just as well you can't see the "silver carbon" headset spacers above the stem 🙄
Apart from that looks lovely.

Brake hoses around the outside of a fork? Maybe in JJB or if you owned motorbikes all your life.. but not on stw!

Nice kawasaki colours though ;O)

Ride it down my way, it'll be brown in 5 mins anyway!!

From the Angle of Dangle of your brakes, I'm guessing you've not been Jedi'd 🙂
