    Worth looking at Dialled Bikes PA, I’m delighted with the one I built last summer but sorry, no pics online 🙁
    The ‘kawasaki’ green is truly a great colur, builds up well with black/white/silver but I’m now wishing I’d pimped a bit of Hope goldness.
    Oh well, there’s always next time 😈

    Ooh now ^^ that’s very nice. I could see you on one of those. Sounds like you’re getting steel pangs again…? Didn’t take long now did it? 😉

    Here’s my 2:

    My blender and soul – not sure if the soul qualifies as inexpensive but it was in comparison to the five it replaced. Both loads and loads of fun to ride.

    I like these but they’re a bit wee for me (not that cheap tho)

    Yeah – it’s rather lovely, if I say so myself! I’m itching to get a decent photo of it, but it’s not quite built yet. Might just go take a pic… 🙂

    Can’t wait to go and ride it. Hopefully before the weekend, if the postie’s on time.

    Jamie – is that the Kwacker green version?

    I’ll soon be selling my mk.2 PA in orange to get a mk.3 in green.

    Decade Virsa;

    First with 100mm forks;

    and then with Talas at 130mm;

    tbh, for the type of ridign I do – South Downs xc with a bit of mucking about in the woods it feels better at 100mm but I think if you were into going downhill a bit more than I am the 130’s would be great.

    I’ve been thinking about getting a shortish a-c 120mm fork for it and seeing what that’s like…

    [edit] I think i had the TALAS wound down a bit int hat shot…

    NS Bikes Surge. 160mm forks is a bit too much but its what I had lying around. Now has a rase seatpost on it as well

    Ken – is that a Kona Roast in grey? I’ve got one of them too, but in poo brown.

    I don’t like any of the dialed bikes, and I think I finally figured the reason why. I think its the fact the seatstays hit the seattube above the top tube. Looks like a ladies bike.

    probably rides great, though..

    Cheers folks – some lovely builds up there.

    Fell in love with the tiny BFe frame when it appeared in Dirt mag’s ‘fresh produce’ a few months ago and the February offer has just pushed me over the edge 😳 . . . excited now 😛 .

    Cheers Paul!

    There was a 13inch Curtis on the classifieds the other day, looked nice although not sure what length of fork it can take.
