with its cable brakes and 15 quid crank this may be the lowest spec NRS ever.
everything is new and tight though. Looking forward to taking my first FS out on Tuesday!
Good work! quality bike, had one as my first bike, regret selling it!
What is the £15 crank?

That's a proper Horst link isn't it? (chainstay pivot in front of and well below axle)
How does it ride? I like the non-matching rotors 😀
Difficult to say. My old GT agressor XC.3 was a bit too big for me and this may be teetering on too small. Seems to turn more eagerly though, and with the shock nice and hard now bob is minimal. Also seems more easy to balance in a wheely going up and down the road!
Need a longer seatpost though
going out on Tuesday in Glos. dont expect any miracles. I suppose the building is as fun as the riding for me!

the donor bike..those rotors make a reappearence here . I had a stubby stem on this one and seat right forward. Sill felt like a gate though...
mind you orig bike only 50 quid. Bought a wheel and some fork seals plus a rear mech and turned it into this
ahh that's why you have telescopic stem.
Id change the tyres for the look of it, other than that good. Any idea what the total build cost was?
