Dam … all these pics making me super excited about building mine up.
JWR – nice pics and love the "Trail bike Build" … pretty close to what I'll have by next week.
So… almost all my bits together, here's the spec list:
2005 Bullit Frame – choice of Swinger 4way air or DHX5 Coil shocks… DHX will be on it.
RS Lyrik Coil Forks (short steerer bargain, but got round that with a super low stack height stem from BikeHut of all places!)
X9 gearing kit
Juicy 4 brakes (like the 3s, but with a wee thumb adjuster for lever reach) 185 rotors.
Bonty Rhythm Comp wheels. Pretty tough, but not super heavy…. or expensive 😉
Dues Chainset with double and bash… always proved strong enough on other bikes… and I don't drop big stuff these days.
RF Atlas Wiiiiiide bars in my 50mm BikeHut stem.
2.35 Maxxis High Roller R/Minion F tyres… and a set of Kenda Blue Grooves for lighter duties.
Should be a lovely, fun, play bike that'll get me to the top of the hill and be heaps of fun on the downs.
I've a whole heap of Innerleithen DH trails to explore on my doorstep…. I can't live here and not have this bike in my life, it would just be wrong!
Pics of the build coming next week….. stay tuned…..
Those reading that don't own a bullit…. you must be wanting one by now right?
