Your Xizang, in that size, with the Maguras.

That just looks absolutely amazing. I can't stop staring at it!

Nice 957... I ended up getting air shocks for my 857 as it was more cost effective (for me) and I couldn't find anyone in the UK to refurb the noleens... and I prefer the ride of air shocks to coils!

Thanks for all the positive comments chaps. The Xizang has a shorter 100mm (Ti of course) stem on now.

New wheels (from Ishaw, Rolf propels) I'm not sure about the red QR's, especially on the front, is it ok to leave the red rear and put a black one on the front, or both black?

That 957 is a beauty, but it is begging for a black and gold Kooka Crank!
