Looks nice but why have you stripped your FS?

[Another bike build?!]

Yes, I like brown and the looks nice. Question is, do you like brown? I have a suspicion you just discovered the answer is no!

It was a dull brown not like the Cham's rootbeer (above). I love rootbeer brown (not matt-dull brown that the butcher came in). Anyway the Cham is a temp-cover frame to keep me going whilst the sus is off... and I fancied it in something like this below (or custard yellow or raw) so still deciding before drop-off.

hora your garden needs sorting out, and is that the Manchester ship canal in the distance? It looks different.

Rootbeer is officially the best SC colour ever. I always wanted a Heckler in that colour. I ended up with a blue one, the year after they discontinued rootbeer, instead.

I chose my 04 Heckler in rootbeer. It looked brilliant. I noticed a few other rootbeers weren't as nice (bad QC from back then I guess).

The Cham rootbeer looks better in sunlight and abit like my Butcher does indoors.

The saddle looks to slope forwards, when the suspension compresses when you sit on it is it not going to be a touch uncomfortable?

I'd like to single out the hose and cable routing for special commendation.

After the local bikeshop chopped down my previous SLX's and used the wrong fluid I'm kinda hesitant about booking in the replacements to suffer a similar fate.

Saddle- Only ridden the bike 700m's to work. Will set up when off road.
