Insurance replacement for my stolen NS Surge. All new with the exception of the saddle. Colour scheme is probably not to everyone's tastes, but if it is good enough for the joker, it'll do me.

Nice tough build, and prob not much more than 27lbs?.
28 on the nose (with bathroom scales). Quite happy with that.
very nice dude (very jealous)
Looks lovely, that's the best colour on a bike imo. HOWEVER, think you need some purple decals for those rims!
Love the black grape, that's actually my dream frame right there. Superb bike.
Nice bike. I'm a bit loved up with Cotic ATM.
I really like that.
I have similar build in green, can't see me needing another bike anytime soon.
Very nice, the colour is growing on me the more I see them built up. Enjoy.
Very nice indeed. I think I'd do something about the green chainguide personally.
+ obligatory "needs a dropper" (can't believe I'm first with that).
that looks ace.
Spot on, very nice, surely though it needs a Reverb to finish it off?
Also make sure it's locked away from where those scumbags took the Surge!
Brilliant bike, but get the pikes up to 150, the bfe is awesome with a big fork up front.
Personally I'd swap the bars for something black, ditch the green stuff, add a dropper and raise the forks to 150mm.
That said...it looks rather sexy! That purple and black looks ace!
The shed, the grass... 8)
However - cracking bike! Looks stunning in that colour, and the green works too - esp with the black. Go ride.
Cheers guys. Personally I'm loving the green but knew it would divide opinions. 🙂
Unfortunately can't ride at the moment as I have a nerve issue in my neck /back so have a bit of time to piss around indexing the gears properly in between chiropractor appointments. 🙁
Overall, well happy with it, definitely the best looking bike I've built, and from the quick ride around the block its had, seems to ride well.
