Nearly got a build spec in my head,but can't decide on colour:

Black/Orange/Turquoise - blinged a bit with Hope\RF Orange?

or

Red - as above but with - blue bits.

I'm favouring red at ATM,but not certain. Any help would be appreciated.

Go for the red one.

Rekon front Ikon rear.
Rides very well. Just put a CCDB Air CS shock on it so still messing about with setup.
Also got some 29er wheels for it but not tried them yet.
Want to get it set up right first.

I've got 2x29'ers, so I'm staying with "chubby's" on this one.

TBH.
The only reason I have the 29er wheels is to ensure i can get it on some uplift trailers...

Funny as seeing someone trying plus in the uplift here ๐Ÿ˜‰ when gracia and another look past it then it's sold for me

Gone for the Red my self, frame at home waiting to be built, it's a deep red, I've just stuck with it, got some decals for the wheels & Pikes as per OE design & a custom build all parts I've bought & collected from other bikes.

XX1 drive train through out, ouch new xx1 cassette
2016 XT brakes
2016 RCT3 150 forks
Hope hubs on KOM rims

Looking forward to next week get home build it & rag it but the dreaded invisi kit to fit first.

The red looks really classy and separates it from the previous Solo and Bronson colourways, more desirable IMO.

You said colourways so your opinion is null and void. ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi

I have been looking at these recently and I think the black wins for me.

Good luck with the build and let us see picture when you finish.

Why no blue?? .....I was getting all excited there, with my: blue hubs/Nextie decals/RF bar logos.....is it me?

Pics will follow,as usual, might be a few weeks,as frames are not available at the mo.

Another vote for the red. I'd have the plusser too. No interest in 29ers.

Lol I did pause after writing colourways but I deduced that was the correct term for colour & graphics ๐Ÿ˜›

Always think less is more when it comes to colour. Bought loads of res hope bits for a bike at one time, ended up hating all of it.

Red Hightower with lots of black kit would be my choice.
