No pics of my Soul yet. Bought a second hand, quite old one off here some time ago, looked untidy, so I sent it to Argos who have:

Replaced the old tubular hose guides with proper zip tie ones, added an extra one in the centre of the top tube, put on crud catcher bosses, sprayed it in two pack tango and put on old style blue decals.

It is having the BB, head tube and brake mounts faced tomorrow and will be built up with:
Mark 1 Rockshox Pike Teams, Chris King Rasta headset and a selection of other stuff lying around the garage. Really looking forward to finishing it.

I sold mine last week. Nice feller that bought it as well, very red he was, with a pointy beard and little horns. Stan something, I think his name was…

toons – BFe or repainted Soul? Loving the colour scheme (even if thats the look I'm after with my BFe if I ever save enough money to buy it).

its' not mine, but its a repainted Soul

Looks nice – I like!

Proper warms my heart this thread does……

Cy, any idea when the new 2010 stock of Souls will be here ?

sporting silver wheels

and black…off out now on this glorious afternoon.

not the best photo in the world

Just built:

Sunset at Nant yr Arian

Who had the one that was pink one side and blue the other?

That was lovely. I like mcobie's too.

Oddly, for some reason, when I came to spaff and large amount of money on a hardtail I ended up with a big, fat black beer-can one which actually cost more than a Soul. Silly how these things happen.

New batch of 2010 Souls is due 1st week in May. We'll have back orders out by mid May.

This thread actually made me go and get my kit on and go for a ride; 'twas bloomin' lovely 😀

BigDummy – thank you.

Here's one from todays ride; she's a bit cleaner too 🙄

Yet another black one (2010 small)

Anyone tried a new Soul with a 120mm fork like a Reba? Too steep?

pedalhead, depends what you want to do with it, I run my revs as 120mm as the default option and it's pretty brilliant. Even 100mm isn't "too steep" though I prefer it slacker.

Pedalhead – my understanding is the Geo is the same as it's alwasy been so 120 should be fine as should 100mm.

I run mine between 100 and 130 depending on what I'm doing and its fine… no its great!

Cheers fellas

just finished building it. Twin pack paint courtesy of Argos & crud bosses new hose guides.

Sorry, not a soul but it's all new (well, second hand but new for me) and I love it and I want to show it off. So there.

What do you think of the BFe crocodilian?

looks nice BTW.

you could always start a 'show your BFe' thread

Chucky, I'm really enjoying it! Uphill it isn't too bad at all but downhill it seems way more planted, due to the quite heavy front end. I've yet to try it proper up Aston Hill near by but I think I'll like it!

I think I will start a BFe thread…stand by…
