[#1573693]

Ive only ever built one bike before and really enjoyed it so i gave it another try.

Its not finished yet, the forks are now off being serviced and i've switched the blue bits to red bits.

Thought i'd see what you guys think as its only my second try any opinions thoughts would be great.

Oh and the saddle height/position is not sorted yet.

Thanks to everyone on here who gave me advice and/or sold me parts.

Nice, they've made them look a lot better than they used to.

its a graphite grey looks really nice, really dark sometimes but when the light hits it it shines.

cheers Glenn, i can't wait for the forks to come back now. It is sat in the little room out back without a chainset or forks and it looks kind of sad lol.

I think it's horrible. You should get yourself a rockhopper team or something. In red maybe.

Pook i actually really miss my red rockhopper pro, that frame was awesome. If it had of had disc mounts i would have kept it forever.

Her is the massive step backwards for the build ha:

And here it is totally finished.

The TT chainset has gone and a new 44t SLX was arrived earlier today.

Forks came back from LOCO Tuning (excellent service may i add) with 2010 internals and it's ready to ride.
