Hi guys,
I've been here for a short time now, mainly trying to purchase bits and reading the vast amount of useful information from this great site.

Anyway's I thought it was about time that I posted what I have done with the knowledge and parts I have collected.

My bike is a mix of modern and retro and I'm really enjoying it!

Here's the pictures:

I see a very interesting frame. Ribbed for stiffness & comfort :LOL:

Alloy?

7005 heat treated butted aluminium tubing.

I got it from here: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/mtb-bm ... IBBFRAM200

I was originally going to get a Merlin Malt 3 frame, but due to my rear wheel setup I needed V brake mounts and disc mounts (for future upgrades), then I stumbled across this.

Really can't complain at the price and it has character. Plus as it seems to be very universal I can slowly upgrade everything ready for a 456 or FSR. :roll:
