Its so nice to ride, ive not taken many pictures. It just does what a bike is supposed to do, it doesnt "cope with square edged hits" it doesnt make "changing lines a copy and paste affair"
its light enough (shade lighter than the alpine it replaces) and strong enough (i didnt break it yet) and it looks bloody lovely.
Nice. How much travel?
I have a Love/Hate (rigid) and very much like the feel of it, it makes my Soul (with 120mm) feel harsh in the back. How similar is the PA to the L/H?
Nice! Mine is in the workstand at the moment - just helitaping it before it goes to the LBS to get chased/faced. Looks fantastic in battleship grey with blue hope cnc'd goodness.
I've been slowly accumulating parts for it from the classifieds - just got the wheels/drivetrain to buy, but I think I'm going to but those new.
Between ordering it and now, Ms Batfink and I have both scored jobs in Sydney - leaving in a few weeks: so I'm thinking mine is going to be the only one on a whole continent ๐
Are those Revs? What travel have you got them at?
Matte black here too with 120mm rebas. It's ace. Really really pleased with it. Loving the matte black finish too and the etched head tube badge
Nice to see the frames finally being built up and ridden, and getting positive feedback.
mattjg - the new Prince Albert Classic frame will be comparable to your L/H, but slightly lighter.
to my mind the MKI will always be the classic

Here's mine. Needs black forks really & I've been looking to justify an upgrade to a bolt-thru front end...

that looks sweet with the white forks, i'd keep 'em
I agree with rocketdog. It looks great with the white forks.
Nicely staged photo as well. Do you mind if I use it on the Dialled Bikes Facebook page and website?
Maybe I'll stick with the white forks then!
No problem at all to use the photo Mike. Let me know if you want a hi-res version & can't get it off flickr & I'll email it to you.
Thanks Rondo. If you could e-mail it that would be great, as Flickr isn't letting me download it.

Some nice trail in that video, Simon.
Pity about that party pooping gate halfway down.
It's my little local gem. Bit of a surprise halfway down where the forestry workers had dug a nice drainage ditch where the trail meets the fire road.
I've since put some wider bars on which has transformed the handling.
