[#1085100]

Was lucky enough to get my hands on a bit of a bargain frame recently and with the parts i already had plus a few 2nd hand/sale items spent Saturday evening putting this beauty together ๐Ÿ˜€

Not managed to get out on it today due to family commitments but had a quick pootle up the road last night and the ride position seems spot on so looking forward to my Tuesday night ride this week.

Not to everyones taste and i know its breaking the law by having a non ss Swift but i like it ๐Ÿ˜‰

Cheers Sam ๐Ÿ˜‰

nice, front mech routing is much easier with the latest cable guided SS Swifts, but you've done a good job, what have you used for the cable stop?

and i bet you've won no friends with what your bars have done to the wall! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Rob its definitely a bike to get shitty and muddy as its going to be my main bike ๐Ÿ˜›

ton - No way, although if i do I'll let you know, even though you wouldn't be interested as your not buying anymore bike for the next 11 months are you โ“

RD the cable stop on the front is one of these [url] http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Problem_Solvers-Backstop-Clamp-On-CNC-Twin-Slotted-Double-Downtube-Cable-Stop-18209.htm [/url] It's the neatest option i could find and I'm quite pleased with it tbh

1st ride last night and wow what a bike ๐Ÿ˜€ .

Ok so the bars need to be cut down (flat Sunline 762's) but this bike is in a different league to my previous 29er. Its responsive, flickable (yep i did say that about a 29er) and feels so comfortable. I can see why so few of them come up 2nd hand.

Can't wait till my next ride this Saturday ๐Ÿ˜›
