This is nothing more than me showing off my new shiny bits.

It used to look like this

Big Thanks go to Simon at [url= http://www.progressive-bikes.co.uk/ ]progessive-bikes[/url] for kit and advice, Rich at Leisure lakes in Breaston for the help with the warranty swap on the swing arm.

Plus on a side note, get yourselves upto Gisburn Forest it is well worth a visit, the guys have built some excellent trails.

That looks very nice. Is that a matt finish on the frame?

You didn't like the Lefty? Always had a hankering for one myself, well, until two-pronged forks became better in the last couple of years.

Ahh...I see you've managed to chop an [u]enormous[/u] amount of weight from the top tube too...

What happened to your Lefty?

Why did the wing arm need replacing?

Nice bike by the way, just got one myself.

Hi all

Right, I loved the lefty, but couldn't pass up the deal on the forks.

The lefty has been sold on to another loving home, think the chap is dropping it on a gemini

The swingarm was part of a recall nothing major just an annoying creak due to a dodgy weld I think, I'd lived with it for 4 years so not that bad, but the chance of a frsh swing arm couldn't be missed

by the enormous amount of weight, you mean me don't you 🙂 think all in all I've lost about 40 grams on the build, more once I go tubeless

cheers for the comments

You swapped out a nice stiff reliable lefty, for a pair of Fox forks?

Each to their own, but I wouldn't have.

Nice bike, even the white cabling looks good - and I usually don;t like anything as flashy as that.
