Anyone still ride any of these?

If so, what do you have them built up with? Pics too please....

Got an Opie frame for free and used some of the spares in my garage to build it up for my wife.

120mm Max Mx Pro, twin ring chainset with bash, Deore hydraulics, short stem, etc. However, it is so stiff at the back end that I've tried to soften it with one of the Superstar carbon posts - currently cheap for the correct size.

Seems great for messing around on.

I try and find a piccy of mine built up.

Bloody love my GED, its looking a bit worse for wear now but an excellent frame, would replace with another.

The bloke with the big beard who rides round with the singletrack lot has one remember seeing a photo on here....

The Mighty GED is a bomber bike. Here's mine in it's last build. The bike I learnt to ride proper Calderdale tech on! Currently in the shed waiting a rebuild with the Thor fork back from Magura and wheels that I've got to build up.

Thanks folks - although it will now be stripped back down and round to my friendly powder coaters for a white finish - unless they have pearl pink of course!

They look slack angled wee beasts. Is the BB quite high too?

I used to have a bitter, sold it to someone on here. Great for bombing down steep stuff, but I found it not so good on the climbs - it always wants to lift up at the front.

I also loved the low-key decals, a bit stealth
