Looks great fingers :cool: How does the old girl ride?

Well a light spin (headset sl loose...) proves it to be really light and lively, very accelerative!!! The geometry seems spot on with those forks - I have an older set of rc30s that are a bit shorter and they made it feel like a roadbike

Proper test & shakedown to follow... :cool:
 
being me, i obviousley like that!! :LOL:

mine is the same frame but the model before so it has the canti hanger on the back so i am forced to use canti brakes, wished it wasn't there as then i could do v brakes aswel, but i'm not gonna complain as it was karma'd to me :cool: can't wait to get it finished, i think it will be my mayhem weapon this year. :D

cool bike :cool:
