Finished it today and went for a quick blast in my local woods, OMG! its like a magic carpet 🙂
Built it up for freeride using bits off ebay and stw.
Going to see how it rides in Wales in mid august but it was just a bit of fun while I was off work for 9 weeks with a torn knee ligament 🙁
May sell it in september if anyones interested?
Comments welcome 🙂

I used to have one of those in the exact same colour, very nice.
I had a set of Super Ts, which I snapped, and got a set of Jr Ts exactly like those to replace them. Terrible forks unfortunately 😥
Have fun though, great bikes.
Word! Loving mine. Just not getting used enough at the moment, sadly.
There's an old freeride video where a bunch of goons in full "factory" race pyjamas jump their Bullits off the roof of various buildings. If I can find a 1/20th scale model village I'd be sorely tempted to recreate this.
the bullit is an awesome frame. the one i tried had monster t's on it though!
retro?
if you want to make it reeeeeeeally plush throw a 8.75*2.75 shock on, gives a theoretical 8" of travel! I used to use one for XC and it was a serious mentalist on the way down. Id love another if i had the space.
Thanks rs 🙂 I still don't know how to paste a pic 🙁 is it easy (hides in discrace)
Ianpv, yeah I hear your comment on the forks but havn't had it long enough to tell yet mate, they are amazingly plush though and they use all but the last 1/2 inch of travel so are working beautifully! In what way did you find them dissapointing?
Would appreciate your comments again mate 🙂

Looks really kool, is the shock on the right way up?
I just thought it'd be better with the piggy back above the spring or are there no clearance issues with it like that?
Its on the right way 🙂 checked the santa website and they are all like that.
might be the photo but it looks pretty tall and got some steep angles on it?
Mad lookin' fun.
hit a few bumps in a row/any chatter/a rock garden and you'll see the issue with Jr Ts. they jsut don't work proper! Good enough for single hits though!
