maybe you should have tried to source some proper Mag decals , I think they are a bit big

the stickers on the shocks are too big and draw the eye to them, standard size stickers would look better.


I'm going to take the fork stickers off tonight, as I have just ordered some correct size ones :wink: Should be with me in a day or two.

Also just brought a Syncros stem off South Bound 8)

Finally, got some skinwall WTB Velociraptors coming from spitoon :D

Arrrr.. you know it makes sense.. this Zaskar is going to be awesome!!! 8)

Hmmm, would it be worth getting the original sticker set for it? I wonder is GT could supply the re-issue set if you asked nicely?

Thanks :D

The original Mag21's have had 4 coats of fresh paint, and I am waiting on some correct sized Rock Shox decals to arrive (the ones in the pics have been taken off as they look wrong; too big). Also got a Syncros stem to fit, then we're done :wink:


Congrats on the little 'un! 8) A real cutie :D

Sounds good!

Thanks, she's amazing...I've never felt so good about getting only 2 hours of sleep a night :o

I remembered what you stated in another thread about how they change everyday at this age, and I'm taking a pic everyday as well....you also inspired my avatar choice...thanks :D

Big thanks to South Bound (cheers Luke :wink: ) for the Syncros stem, I think it finishes it off a treat 8)

Another coat of paint to the Mag21's, and fresh correctly sized Rock Shox decals added 8)

So its done for now.......just needs some mud adding!
