Just out of interest, did you have to strip the frame to its component bits before getting it done ?

Nice colour - sort of Lemon sorbet..... Will look really good with black bits and huge, gnarly tires.

It'll look like a giant wasp. Cool.

Nice one for not going with Blue, or Black, or some other dull crap

lowey - it was stripped to it's bollocks before being blasted'n'powdercoated. Once in bits I put old bearings and bushes in the appropriate holes to protect the tolerances.

Still building it up but it looks pooh hot, even with the old bits on it.

Minging, both colours. Sorry.

I just pray it rides better than it will look or that you are a habitual night rider.

I prefer the pink to the brown.

The bike looks better in yellow though...

Specialized did not use Yellow for the colour of their demo bikes for no good reason... still for those who live in Bristol you might have stumbled on to good tactic to reduce thefts..... any reason why you had to wake us sleepers in the chat forum by posting a picture of any bike here ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think it looks great! not sure about the red bits though - i would get rid of them and get some nice white bars instead. and maybe pedals as well. and some grey lizard skins peaty grips ๐Ÿ™‚

flats are on there for testing round the block. Proper pedals will go on later, as will heli-tape.

Like it. What would make it look uber-kool- can you get the spring in slate/battleship grey?

Ps. Its a MTB- they are supposed to look fun!
