[Closed] THE New Build Pics - Kinesis Boy Content

Like it. Carbon seatstays?

That bike of yours looks ace. Must be light as well.

Nice, black valve caps would look better 😉

looks like it was worth the wait 🙂

Lovely 😛 i've got an xc pro 2 i love it.

So after all the advice you still forgot to put it in the big ring for the pics 🙄

I thought it was mtb's = middle ring and road bikes = big ring?

told you not to post kinesis pics, looks good but i think the white seatpost is too much, i'd have gone black seatpost white saddle

Blue fence stain is unforgivable.

Hey ! 🙂

So you got it finished. Looks Ace !. Red parts seem to match the frame decal colours nicely. Overall, its a good job, imo.

Looks quick.

Nice work FoxyRider
😀

Solo

i'd have gone black seatpost white saddle

+1

And all bikes should be photographed big ring, bottom of the block, looks daft otherwise. I forget which manufacturer it was, but they'd taken all their catalogue photos in granny ring/top of the block, looked ridiculous!

Cheers guys 🙂

Blue fence stain is unforgivable.

Yeh have to paint it sometime but was like that when we moved in 🙁 Its actually more of a shade of blue/grren in real life 😉

Bu99er is that I swapped the rear mech to an old XT shadow that I thought was OK - Tisn't 🙁 Jumping all over the place last night and on riding it to work for a test run this morning - swapped cassettes this morning and no difference really so I think I have to re-cable the back end and put the older XT non-shadow back on 🙂

Note: Also seat needs to go back a little and front end up a nudge - very plush ride on the back end but seems pretty responsive - not as chuckable as the XC2 setup at the mo but I think the position changes will make a huge difference - seems to take me a few months to get it riding how I like 🙂

BTW I had had enough taking pics after wasting 1 hour and not even doing any decent riding so I am afraid some of your tips slipped - i.e. like the chain position sorry 😕

I like. A lot. First white bike I've seen that looks nice.

The fence, on the other hand, is a crime worthy of a protracted and unpleasant punishment..!

Don't like the grips 😉

oooh, foxy you've been tweeted by DecadeBikes 🙂

smart looking bike there!

Oh yeh blimey WW - I guess first published bike built by an oik 😉 Even beat BikeMagic to the build 😉

NOOOOOO you can't you've just got a flat tyre and coz you rushed out you haven't got a spare tube or puncture kit

Lovely and I really like the build [b]including[/b] the seatpost. May I suggest the subtle use of a couple of red spacers to compliment and balance the seatclamp and subtle red flashes elsewhere.

Someone at work said RED grips?

Also thinking of the sram red PG990 😉

Nice build, I got a new XC120 yesterday, not going to open up for photos because it's already filthy, and I don't have time to re-paint the wall.

Loving it so far.

Puncture?

Its a [i]new[/i] bike and you're still using innertubes? Schoolboy error.
Nice though, what's the frame weight?

My other 2 wheel sets are tubeless (on my Five) - need to save up (as spend too much already) for some stans valves/rim strips but will go tubeless at some point I am sure 😉

Frame weight for med. 1520g.

Fence advice: I painted all mine Black. Makes them disappear [yes, really!] and plants really stand out against the dark colour.

Are you serious about the fence? Pic please, although obviously we won't be able to see it 😆

stealth fencing.

You can sit in the garden and watch the cat staggering around the lawn holding its head saying 'where the f*ck did [i]that[/i] come from'

OK, so when I said 'Disappear' I didn't really mean they went invisible!! Here's a pic

and this one

Only a STW thread could start out with an XC frame and end in fence colour debate!! Love it.

Hmm very contemporary Dom 🙂

That looks nice. Fast, comfy and capable all at once, which is nice. Enjoy.

Cheers guys - Can't wait to get it all setup so it zings 🙂

Don't worry I wont take any offence to cheeky comments 🙂 Honestly 😉

That fence actually works [img] /sign-smiley-6799.gif[/img]

Thanks Woody! Good huh!? Nice to have a bit of garden fence banter on a Friday afternoon!

Very nice, loving the white post!

Also, good fence!

My fence or Dom's fence ? 😉

Nice. Very nice.

Agree on the white saddle/black seatpost comments.

I've ridden an XC Pro 2 for the last 3 years and it's a fantastic bike.

Very nice, though my screen makes it look like you've fitted risers 😉

First 30 min off road ride to work this morning - I knackered - FANTASTIC - WOW its soo fast but nimble. The rear end is responsive enough to let you accelerate nicely but takes the small jolts out your back - Can't wait to take it on a serious long spin over dartmoor 🙂

Hey, very nice looking!
Agree with the comment above ref the grips - something like below to get the 'collar and cuffs' to match. Got some of these on my FS.

Are you going to be at 24/12 this year? I'm doing the first 12hr. Need to get down your way for a trip around the moor soon.
