I'm looking for some fat tyres just now, some schwalbes might be in order. I might cable it up pink! then take the decals from there. :)

8) those are very nice but the bike will be pressed into service at SSWC so will need an all rounder. I have a load of tyres lying around so I'll have a dig....really like those intense ones though :)

I still have these which would clean up nice

:) I've ordered a white spoon, a silver salsa clamp and goldish chain. If I can fit em I'm going for 2.25 Nobby Nic's with green writing from planet x. I'm going to try a Salsa stem on there as well.

I'll hopfully between gil and tk get some decals soon and I'll go for pink methinks. In retrospect I kinda wish I had left the forks and got the bars done the same as the frame but hey ho its done noo!

Nearly done, just to cable up and find some brake blocks.....and fix the pinch puncture :oops: Fit is really nice, test ride with gazz tomorrow :D Alot happier with the way its came out and very happy the big 2.3's fit in there. Cables will probably be white but this is work in progress and a bit of a parts box build. If it rides like I hope it'll get what it deserves :D

Excellent choice of brakes - rim brakes don't get much better than those. Lovely colour too, the whole thing looks very well put together.
