I have got a set of totems (thanks geetee1972) set to 170mm and an RC for the back (160mm with the other shuttle) for the uplift days/ trips to the alps.

First impressions are it is very stiff, plush and long. Cant wait to give it a proper ride.

oh and logo rim fail taken as red.

I’m liking that

Now thats nice

Looks spot on

Gold hubs on that frame? Shudder

Jeebus that’s nice!
Gear cable and yellow cable tie are a bit gopping but overall – first class : )

nice, though that rear mech cable needs sorting out.

Funny colour isn’t it – looks different in just about every photo.

Wall’s a bit wonky.

I take it that colour was going cheap. 😉

Very nice Neil.

Appalling build quality there.

The wall I mean.

Bike is gorgeous.

What a beauty – it’s all in the ride though so very goo job that it’s a Mojo!

Again, WHAT A BEAUTY!

Grrrrr baby, very grrrrr… that Vitamin P is indeed a weird one to photograph, never looks the same in any pic I’ve seen of it! Wonder if it is indeed different between batches of frames? 😕

cheers for the comments, will get on the mech cable. I was in two minds about it… it’s got to go.

the colour is a funny one… it really is loud in the flesh but dosnt come across that well in the pics.

S W E E T

Real nice.

What height/size are you, Neil? (considering one myself)

HG: I am 6ft and got a large with a 50mm stem. I’am on the cusp of the xl, but it just wasnt right.

That’s lovely. I wish my Mojo SL was in an interesting colour, but it’s black. 🙁

Gopping, Sorry.

And minus points for use of wannabe ghetto phrase ‘whip’.

That is rather nice. Not sure about the Magura forks. Applaud the 1×10 build though.

hubba hubba, me likey

No need to apologise scruff, cant please everyone… and I should have put up some photos of the rest of my ‘stable’. Didn’t notice the inverted commas did you?

Mr B, have you tried the new Magura fork line up? They ride well (just sold a 2010 set) and they are very light.

I was going to put some pictures of my HD 160 up, but then I couldnt remember by flickr logon id etc etc.

Anyway, its a cracking bike – have fun with it

Normally don’t bother commenting on peoples repeated posts of Cotics/On-Ones etc but thats stunning.

Where did you get the yellow cable outer from by the way?

Dream Bike..!!!!

That looks the biz, have fun with her.

DBW – it is jagwire outer. you can pick it up in packs from wiggle et al or on the bay / google per m. It’s good quality, just a bit brittle. Took a couple goes with good quality cutters to get a clean cut.

Nice bike but I don’t understand this whole 1x thing, especially on a 140!?!

Mine on tour in Morocco last week!

Tidy! Looks nicely slack with 150’s and no angle cups in too.

ridden it yet?

Are they the 2012 Thors? fixed or adjustable?

HG: I am 6ft and got a large with a 50mm stem. I’am on the cusp of the xl, but it just wasnt right.

Hmm… I’m 6’1″ and would be on a 50mm stem too…. been trying to compare dimensions with the L Spicy I’m riding now, there seems to be very little in it bar 10mm in the TT – but I do like the long TT on the Spicy. Decisions…

Uplift on sat. Got the bike dressed up for the occasion.

160mm links, custom 170mm totems, van r.

i hope that clears it up. 😀

Is the shock the newer Van RC or an older Van R?

Thinking about one of these for mine, any thoughts yet?

Nice dual personality. I like them both.

TT – yep that about explains it! 😆

Vin – It is a basic 2010 van r. Very straight forward really. I haven’t ridden it properly yet, will report back when I have. (sat).

Neil.

Looks far better with black forks, needs black saddle and bar too. IMHO…
