Got this frame off Big Eck

I had an early Mount Vision and always liked this approach to rear suspension so when the opportunity came up to play under the desk swappsies I jumped at the chance.

and some more smoke and mirrors secured these off Jones:

and a pile of 'stuff' - I guess its a case of 'watch this space' but I'm planning a black & white XC based bike, fairly light and Fen friendly. Theres no Down Hill round 'ere:

ha! you thought I hadnt noticed that....


well I did and I have a spare shock from a mount vision that should bring that daft amount of travel back down. :LOL:
 
now it is - opened the box at 2pm, rode it at around 4.40pm and promptly fell off after forgetting to do the stem up... :oops: :LOL:


anyway - forks need a wee service but other than that, LX/XT mix of drivetrian and its all happy
