it had long forks and DH tyres on, now as XC wheels, race kings and 100mm forks (as you can see)
rather enjoying it.

toying getting something with trackends for a cleaner look, but tensioner does have the advantage of needing no retensioning of chain and fannying around getting the chainring in the middle of the crank

Yes, bit tall.
Cant think why it was so high in that pic.
I'm at top of 16" frame range. 18" felt bit big. 16" fits nice but means running tall post. 410mm Thomson, still well inside limit & never any issues with bending.

I love this picture. What lens did you use to make the front wheel look disproportionately big? It has an almost 3-D feel to it, AWESOME.

why do i get an;

Ollys bike MAN

?
good to see some more 456s getting SSed on here.

456SS should have the slot dropouts IMO.
and a 120mm MXcomp instead of my 105mm.

EDIT: 32:18, because a 17t cog is far too expensive for what it is.
