Here's my latest build. Parkwood vastly improved with matt paint and no decals anywhere! 120 manitou tower pro, ebay bargain xtr brakes, 32t 1x10. Pretty happy with the ride and the geometry works for me. Large frame, build came in under 27lbs which i'm pleased with.

Very nice.
Should start building mine up this week though I cant find a set of long forks at a good price so it'll have to have 120s on it for a while

The guy I bought the 2Souls QH off is selling a practically brand new pair of Pikes on here. I'll find the link. He was great to deal with re the frame that I bought, kind of individual who really looks after his stuff if you know what I mean.

I would have bought them myself but had already got a set of 140mm Marzocchis.

The QH will be built up next week. As I'm 17 stone I'm not too worried about weight. Will be 1x10 with Zee chainset, xt shadow rear mech, zee brakes (17 stone takes a bit of stopping) and Flow Ex on Hopes. Also Hope h/set, Raceface 6c carbon bars, Thomson stem and a dropper post (probably reverb). I'll post pics once it's all sorted!

HOW MUCH!!!!

Good luck to him, they are only 25 quid more for a brand new set on CRC & I could get some RS Sektor Gold for almost £200 less than he's asking. Maybe they wouldn't be as good but then I probably wouldn't notice.

That Parkwood looks good in battleship grey
