Mine arrived yesterday – it is yellow, it is bright yellow and @ <£220, a bargain*

Swapping all the bits over from my 2006 Gary Fisher Ziggurat so, a touch heavier, a touch shorter and a touch slacker on the head angle…

*retains right to revise opinion when it is built and ridden 😉

Hag down the roads knocking them out for a tenner, get what you pays for mind. Her liver failure makes her a kinda dull death glow yellow.

You’ll love it Chris!!

They are ace frames..

Had one sine 2006. Great fun.

£220?

You could have had two Pompinos for that!

LOL @qwerty!

Teeto – forgot you have one – how could I – IIRC, it’s pink!

Damn! I paid a lot more than that.
Anyway you won’t like it… they’re crap
🙂

<goes off to look up Pompino>
two for £220 – lordy – still as the say, there is no such thing as a bad pompino!

Teeto – forgot you have one – how could I – IIRC, it’s pink!

Correct!!

Now with new XT brakes and Renthal Fatbars..

they look great in any colour
I was taken with the Kermit Green when I got mine (2011) but how can you not love the yellow !!

Were these specials or limited sizes? Cheapest I can see is 269. There is one 15.5 cheaper but were the others cosmetic damage as well?

£20 more than I paid for my Curtis from CRC

cb. IIRC, it was all sizes but just white and yellow that they dropped from £299.
edit – just looked – sorry dude, they have lifted back to £269….

Nick – how tall are you & what stem length are you running, please?
that’s my only minor worry now – 740 wide bars and a 45mm stem, works fine on current bike but the cove is, I think, around 20mm shorter on the effective top tube length than my current bike.
I figure it’ll be a ride or 3 to get used to it / decide changes are required.

edit – elshal – yep, that very yellow! Had wanted the red but they were not discounted.

my finger was hovering for 2 days. the yellow one also. i just wanted it to drop one more time ( i know !!)

sigh maybe next time 😉

I saw the offer while I was at work, was after a stiffee rather than a handjob but by the time I’d got home the 17.5’s had sold out, gutted 🙁 they’re both good frames though, enjoy yours!

skeetsgb – i’d seen the Friday lunchtime drop was the last one so I knew £219 was as low as it was going (until they do a huge clear out on remaining stock!)
House move means no phone line / broadband so I had a bit of a sweat on when I was able to log in on Saturday morning – seems I got lucky 🙂

hareydan – cheers – better luck when the next offer comes up 🙂

Nick – how tall are you & what stem length are you running, please?

Apologies Chris, only just seen this..

I’m just under 6ft, but little legs- 30″..

Mines a 17.5″ frame.

I’m running a 70mm Thomson, with uncut 780mm Renthals..

Spotty dog IMHO.

Cheers Nick – i’m 5’10” with a 31″ inside leg. Expecting I might be needing to swap the stem for something longer but, time will tell 🙂

Here is mine

full fat, 2007ish, 15.5″, 100/120/140mm

We must meet up soon Chris- Its been far too long fella..

Sorry for the delay guys –

qwerty – i’d best not tell MrsMM that they need be stores on the table!

nick – yep, been a long while. Hope to catch you on a forum ride sometime soon!

edit – btw, mine is still in the box…. on Sunday I took my ‘old one’ out for one last ride – just looking to make time to strip and reassemble things into the new yellow machine… 🙂

C’mon… get it built
😉
I want to see another yellow one.
