Never mind the bike - what mobile did you get such good photo's from?

btw the bike is nice in a subtle understated kind of way 🙂

Very nice - but the colour of the front brake hose is not acceptable. 😆

thanks for the comments folks
i had nuke proo bar ,stem and post as well but when i fitted the thomson silver stuff it looked better imho

the mobile is just a standard sony erricsson w995

Deluded i would have had a white goodridge on the front also but steve at i-cycles only had one in stock.
the goodridge line was the only part i did not fit ( i feel a failure ) 🙄

I actually like that... the yellow stuff works well on the grey, better than against the common black bikes IMHO. Has a bit of a Safety Tape look about it, but I like.

Looks like Steve and Eliot sorted you out a gooden.

Hope to see you/it around Inners... I'm a local boy. Keep an eye out for a minty green SC Superlight... or candy red Bullit, which I'll be riding the uplift tomorrow on.

Stoo mr deas actually talked me out of buying the yellow wheels because he does not like yellow !

I suggested he go on a course to stop talking people out of sales !
To be honest me being
15 stone had a lot to do with the wheel choice 😆
i have not been up riding much pro lapsed disc,work ,baby etc but im kickin keen to get back out

p.s this was my first night at innerleithen xc many moons ago

Really like that. Agree about the need for a yellow seat clamp. Maybe different handlebars too?

actually mine is different to yours. yours must be the updated version, your chainstays and shock linkage look different. Same colour though, mine has the bendy stays. hope its not too flexy !

What's the difference (apart from the colour)? Looking good btw - I know where there's is a small frame at a bargain price and I'm sooo tempted (particularly in the light of the glowing Dirt mag reviews) but the colour (brass monkey, I think - is that what yours is?) put me off a bit. Loving the yellow accents though. Hmmmm, wonder what it'd look like with blue bits . . .

I really like the new shape 2011 model but sheesh, how expensive . . .

I saw that at rutland, good price, i quite liked the colour, kind of understated. Its different to this i think. Mine has a lot of blue hope kit on it and looks good against the grey. should be here tues, i hope !!!

Haha - Steve is always trying to talk people out of buying stuff. Strange sales tactic. Actually seems to work though.

pro lapsed disc,work ,baby etc but im kickin keen to get back out

Sounds familiar. I slipped a disc when my wee one was 3 months old. Horrible stuff.

She's coming up for 3 now, and having moved to inners 6 months ago from Edinburgh, I'm trying to grab any spare moment I can out on the trails. Gimmi a shout if you're up for a pedal sometime.
