I beg to differ, yours has more potential

Smaller frame = better for a start

Your white forks are prettier

But get a layback seatpost and sime decent tyres!

Temporary measure that, if I keep the frame it's not staying blue but if I don't keep it I want to keep it tidy, either way I'm not throwing copter tape at it.

(I'm saving the stickers for the same reasons, either for resale or for repaint. But thanks!)

"I like the masking tape "decals"

Thank you. There are countless hours of work invested in that. Choosing the correct size of tape, shape of pen tip, etc is serious work, it's good to see someone who appreciates such a lost art.

As shallow as it is, this is the only thing stopping me buying an mmmbop, I think. It just looks bloody awful.

My other bike has a coke can for a headtube too. But it's ugly as well to be fair. My Soul has a proper head tube and is, all in all, about a million times prettier than the Mmmbop, but the Soul's in a box and the mmmbop isn't.

I thought that, not bad in the flesh though, i actually like it, suits the rest of the frame.

Have`nt you heard the old saying... Red n Green should not be seen without a colour inbetween! ๐Ÿ™„

Loose the red panaracers!!! With black tyres it will look just fine ๐Ÿ˜›

Should be on the "Lets see your green bikes" thread as well ๐Ÿ˜‰

Your chain looks a bit slack. But the panaracers ruin it!

Kingtut +1

The layback posts (with saddles pushed right back) ruin them most I reckon. I thought the point of the mmmbop etc was to have steep SAs for climbing well and then getting the saddle right down out the way for proper descending. Though I could well have lots of things muddled up here

The forks look too big and bulky IMO especially at full travel as well as making the SA look too slack and BB height too tall

2.1" Fire XC Pro's? Surely 2.35" Maxxis or bigger for a ragley?

Brants looks best:

@ RDL-82, do you not like your nads or something? On a saddle down DJ bike maybe, but a trail/AM bike with the saddle fully up I don't really get the saddle angle?

Yes but druidh, 2.1" Advantages are very almost as big as (small for their size) 2.35" High Rollers, unlike (small for their 2.1" size) fire XC's

Is it just me or does Dales look like a chubby Gareth Gates in that picture.

The one with white rims has potential, needs a white saddle and some coordination, decent tyres would rock too

Typical intelligent and well-considered response from Kingtut there... ๐Ÿ™„

Dalesboy; yours would look a lot better with some plain black tyres. I like the green and white colour scheme.
