...an hour.

Hardtail stripped down, new inners inserted and Blur4x rebuilt in an hour.

I even remembered to tighten up the pinch-bolts in the stem before spinning around the block ๐Ÿ˜†

All this in a race to stop mrshora going mental before tea was ready

Funnily enough I did the exact opposite last Sunday - Knolly to Mmmbop.

Knolly fantastic frames.
The Endorphin is the baby of the range yet in true Canadian style is way OTT for UK riding.
I'm wrestling with selling it or hanging it up for a non-rainy day.

You wouldn't stop driving a car you are selling would you? Why not make me an offer if you are interested?

IanS....keep me in mind...

Peachos, that wall really is crying out for a bigger picture and more centred.

Hold on; you are now selling the Blur, your 'perfect' bike? And what steel piece of shit hardtail are you replacing it with for the three weeks before you change your mind and sell it to get another 4X?

You truly are a mongo.

I was in two minds....but I realised on Thursday.. hence why I've rebuilt it back up last night. Missed it too much.

Cancelled the auction (I forgot to cancel yesterday).

Doesn't mean your capacity to pleasure your eyes should go unsatisfied

that was excellent nice work fella, my stripping down and rebuilding usually involves a lot of fist shaking and heavy duty swearing...i ride a singlespeed now as id run out of profanities

@hora - you should see the rest of the flat during 90% of the time...resembles a bad bike jumble sale!

cheers Alcopop! needed to account for failing light a bit more, but quite happy with one of my first attempts at this. what to try it on next though?!?!?!

Hora you nob. If your bored you can build my new Pace frame up when its back from being powder coated. Doing a frame transplant to wrap the Intense up for the winter

BTW: Steve's selling his Knolly Endorphin if your interested. The spec is ridiculous and its hardly been ridden. Or he'll sell it as frame only. Price on request (but its very reasonable. Its the right size for you too) ๐Ÿ˜€

Alcopo. You should remember that no part ever stays on one of Horas frames long enough for it to seize in. Or even get muddy for that matter. Therefore rebuilds are a doddle
