The tyres look too weedy, and the grey doesn't suit it
Gripshifters?
Saddle is a angled a touch far back (if you're going to ride it with the saddle up at pedalling height)
Brake levers look to be angled a long way aroung the bars, personally I can't get on with them like that, especially when trying to keep weight a bit further back for steeper stuff
Otherwise, its good

I'll take it off you so nobody criticises your choice of GripShift.
Lovely bike BTW.

yes, they suit me, very stiff rear end, good geometry, very strong frames, good service intervals too, good service from the authorized dealers in uk and italy, expensive tho and not too common on the trails, little bit heavy (like me).

evil ed, i havnt ridden the bike yet, i was a bit worried at first, after i ordered it, but a mate has a rs7 and another has a fly, i think they are both 68mm, and they run well, on mine im using a double and bash guard, in the clamp going up n down the gears theres no skipping or jumping, and the chainline dosnt look out of whack at all.
