I have just swapped the white stem for a black one and the fork lowers for a white set. Pics will be added when complete.
It had white bars/stem/grips but looked stupid and plasticy. You need some contrast
Saddle is OK in white. Mine is a Specialized Alias and just cleans up really well. The grips tend to darken very quickly – depends how anal you are about it looking like new.
Ah this is bollocks – I’ve posted pictures before and now can’t get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The pictures are on Flickr – I click on ‘share this’ then on ‘Embed It’ – I copy the code, paste it into the IMG box, but all that appears is this:
geetee, right click the image in flickr and select "Properties" and copy the img location (in Explorer) or "Copy image location" (in firefox). Paste into the IMG box.
I think the flickr share this thing produces a clicky photo which won’t work with the IMG tags.
Success! Thanks guys – all very helpful. What confuses me is that I have done this before and didn’t use the process you outlined, although that does clearly work. Anyway, now that it works here are a few more:
And this is it before I modified it to reduce travel and weight
Pinches I do like your Intense – looks like a fun bike, compact, fast, chuckable, more than strong enough. Is it realistically light enough to do 2-3 hour trail rides on?
