    Didn’t really think about the colour when I got my DH wheels..luckily they were a bargain and will only get used every now and then. I kind-of like them but it is a bit bright..
    Let’s see your colour faux-pas’s

    Go for a green hosepipe, just for contrast.

    It’s a daft bike for having fun on.
    It looks great.

    That certainly screams ‘banana’.

    Strip the frame and it’ll be sweet.

    It is good fun 🙂

    Great idea, off to ebay to find one 😉

    I did think it was a bit much but, yeah, grinning like a loon..

    Are you Eddie Fiola?

    No..

    Needs this…

    Oh, that’s a step too far 😉

    Strip the frame and it’ll be sweet.

    It was raw when I bought it and it looked a bit shit tbh 😐

    I bet it looks great in the flesh and with a bit of mud on it. My yellows aren’t quite as matched but I love it!

    Looks brilliant. A 2deg angleset and it would be awesome.

    that pic makes it look really short and tall – is it really?

    It has a slight glow to it in the dark 😯

    It does, the photo doesn’t do the colour any justice really and the gold flake doesn’t show up either..

    Thanks, HA is about 66 degrees now so might be too slack with an angleset.

    The wheelbase is about 20mm shorter than the Tracer2. It doesn’t feel tall or short though

    how so? these were 68.5deg w/160 fork.
    It looks steep.

    They’re 170mm lyriks, admittedly, only checked using a protractor on my phone 😳
    Will double check later and update 🙂

    Still a great looking bike mate! An angleset would also bring that BB height down (I seem to remember them being a bit high?)

    What angleset would you recommend? Never really looked at them before so might be something worth considering..

    I want to say “YES!!”

    But it’s kind of grown on me, I picture it tearing up the singletrack like a demented hornet.

    Yeah, a bit like that. Bloody dual ply’s. Luckily have an industrial compressor at work which makes it much easier 🙂
