    Cheers all..

    Everyone – think its knocking around the 22lbs mark.. was more of a tight budget on this bike so could have been much lighter??

    Rocketdog – Totally hear you on the rims.. they are painted rather than stickers.. was original after a hope wheelset but these came up at a good price!

    Russell96 – will sort something out today 🙂

    Really nice bike. I hope you’ve grown a “Tom Ritchey” to accompany it.

    Yea that’s really nice! Pretty good weight but I reckon you could get it lighter, I’ve got a P-650b that’s built up around 23lbs but that’s geared etc.

    Very nice if it were mine I’d look into getting the forks powdercoatec red to match the front section of the frame.

    rexated – thats a good question with the colour ways for 2015..

    When I saw someone was looking to sell one on stw and in that colour way just had to have! Top bloke too.. see the new one in black and yellow 🙁 seems wrong haha.. also got a new rear end which not sure will works as well for ss?

    austinburner – what sort of gearing you running? very new to ss! cracking pics!! looking forward to getting mine out on some trails 🙂
