Nice to see others current builds are going well, mine is Not quite going to plan, awaiting some grips, rotor bolts, furrels and most important a DT swiss rear QR adaptor kit (currently staged with a QR through a 10mm hub! grrrrrrr why trek use that daft rear is beyond me.. so far it is very very light

wall paper's a bit wrinkly and doesn't stop when it gets to the floor...
think your bars look quite nice without grips...
could you not just hold on tighter?
they actually put the nice logo under the grips

I'm going to take issue with that point 🙂
Looks nice, agree it's stupid that handlebar manufacturers so often put nice decals under the grips!
those bars look very narrow, and those brakes very small?
got some one ride old white superstar grips - any use?
i used to have those exact brake but i had to go up to m4s as i got too fat 😉
Njee, the bike I meant is light considering its travel and intended use and vs stock weight + vs other bikes with as much travel , the wheels, brakes etc are a lot lighter than the stock kit, and it now has slightly smaller but lighter tyres
The bars are 680 wide and a good width for me, as for brakes, I always go back to mini's, love them, esp the 07's with 160mm rotors...
Rob - thanks for the offer but I have some yeti odi's comming!!
Love it. Think that is one of the nicest looking bikes, and love the colour scheme.
Like it mate, haveyou thought about clear grips??
Make the most of the bars then.
thanks, I have to say im still not sure about the look of it, just hope it rides well... will got some new pics on a decent camera once it is cleaned up and more finished
Did you build that up from the F&F that was being sold on e-bay a little while back?
yes...... well he included a few other bits, but its really just the original F&F
Nice - I've got a Remedy 7 I got off the 'bay, in standard trim. It's just about usable on a XC route with climbing being just about do-able, but on anything downwards and rough it's superb.
Well i have only ever been a 1 bike person, so I had to lighten it up for a do it all.. glad as I just found a shop that can get and fit the rear hub conversion!!
I have to say im still not sure about the look of it
Really? I think you could kit out those Treks with componentry hewn from rotten animal carcass, fitted using a toolkit consisting of a damp mossy twig and half a breezeblock and they'd still be one of the prettiest bikes out there.
Bloody gorgeous they are.
