(dont like the gold green purple parts though - unnescessary, get the red parts on there)

Thanks cyfa. If I had built this from scratch I wouldn't have done it this way but maybe that's a good thing. I always tend to go a little stark.

Very much unsure about the rubbers though...

Anyone happen to know the year of the frame? Previous owner hazarded a guess at 2006.

Thanks Jody. Took some finding. Couldn't decide between a Stumpie or an Epic. Always wanted a Stumpie since boyhood but this one put a spanner in the works of that plan.

Swapped the breadbin saddle for a sell italia carbon off my zaskar and took her for a quick 15 miler into black park, Stoke common.

Loved the feel of it. She's blindingly quick. Point and go..

Looks great that. Got to love the subtlety of an s-works. Right balance of colour with the splashes of red too. Very nice :)

Thanks. Bought this after you sold your mates Stumpie to someone else. ;) Did me a massive favour.

I'm still not sure about the rubbers. Something under 2 inches and made by scwalbe might be a better look. No doubting the xcpro's grip tho.
