Not a big fan of the white bars, but I dont like any white bars.

WOuld look better with proper decals too I think.

But the overall look of the bike is very cool mate. How do you like the ride?

Really like that.

Only thing I would change is the stem and seatpost, they don't go too well with the red frame.

thanks for all the comment! Great to see how it looked originally, I must say I prefer the red but the yellow looks cool too. First major ride into the Surrey hills today and it was a blast! The magic gear of 32x18 worked a treat and was perfect for the area around Leith and Holmbury. So light and responsive compared to my old hardtail. They really are great frames.

cheers :D :D
