I absolutely love that Steve, the Judy looks pretty good in my opinion... an SL might work too and pick out the yellow in the decals. Very impressed mate

Cheers fella,
Inspired by your Salsa which I regret not being able to buy at the time....

Now that is a great bike, great taste Steve.

Can you not use the Judy steerer on some SIDS(if you can find some!?) Black SIDS would look sweet for sure.

What about something like the bombers in this thread?

If someone can confirm that judy steerer fits SiD's then I'll start looking.

Red on the bonty's nice but I think I'd prefer black, or even just the judys resprayed in XTR grey...

I think the spacing is the same, but I believe the crowns on all SIDs are bonded to the legs so they need to be carefully cut off before you can fit a judy crown and steerer. I'm sure there is a thread on this modification somewhere on the site, I'll have a look for you....

That's gorgeous Steve. I've never actually seen a Rourke mtb before, only the road bikes. What's the geometry like on it, do you know?

Hi Steve, found that thread on MTBR for you... You'll have to sign up to see the photos if you haven't already....
