Had it since christmas but never got round to putting up a photo, so here it is. I hope the pic works but never used picasa before....

2009 Specialized FSR XC comp frame

3x10 SLX
Tektro Aurgia brakes
Hope bulb/717 front wheel
Merida rear wheel, soon to be stans arch/pro 2 Evo
sunline v3 bars

It creaks like my knees but it pedals well and is very stable downhill.
EDIT: okay no idea how to post pic, any ideas?

[edit] lawn could do with levelling out a bit.
How did you do that? magic....
You clicked on the URL and pasted the link in there, you need to click on the IMG button and add the link there instead.

Crikey, Pikes on an FSR XC 😯
Seat too high, get a bike that fits you 🙄
They're nice and tough, got them for a good price and they work 🙂
Liftman - I'm 6ft 1 and it's a large. I do have fairly long legs mind....
needs a 29er
Liftman - MemberSeat too high, get a bike that fits you
Nonsense, if the post goes high enough to pedal properly its fine 🙂
Pikes are good forks, nice and reliable
rocketdog- want a 29er...
Anyone got any comments about the bike rather than the lawn/if it fits me or not? 🙂
Yes. I'm not sure that an FSR XC should have 140 mm Pikes up front.
I normally keep them at 120 anyway. A sagged 140mm fork is shorter than a locked out 120mm fork so i don't think there would be any issues. I might just go and have a look at the headtube welds though, it has been creaking and rattling a bit 😯
