Need a pic

jimmy5willy · Nov 19, 2009

I know I know! As soon as it gets here I'll do one.

Then after a quick clean and some allen key loving...

Let the part hunting begin!!

I need seatpost info: Width.
My cheap-as-chips verniers say 30.4mm, but I have little faith in them!

looks like it walked itself in - I hope it wiped its feet

jimmy5willy · Dec 21, 2009

Yeah you know how it is though -as soon as it arrives you HAVE to open it.
That was the only bit of space in the office big enough.

That is a lovely frame. On my wishlist with a LOBO. Looking forward to the pics of the build.

Nice little set of wheels and tyres off of the fleabay. I like the cnc work on the rims.

I'm looking for forks next.

They are trials rims - not sure of their suitability as everyday MTB rims :?

Nice Frame

I built one of these up not so long ago, then ended up selling it, which I now regret. Looking at the bottle cage and rims, me thinks you're going 'blue' on this. Gil can sort you out some nice decals.

What forks you looking for? Dual or single crown. RS DHO's or XL's may be the way but personally I'd go for a set of single crown Z1's with 130mm travel. There was a lovely polished set with blue decals on ebay recently, nowt listed at the moment though

I'd also go for Magura HS11 or 33's brakeset.

Keep us posted with the build. Love these bikes
