Ignoring my back issue, the bike rides very well. I am sure you know the virtues of a ti frame and the forks add to this mantra, ie very positive and accurate while taking the edge off small bumps and vibrations.

Thanks for the kind words, i do like it as well! Pics of the 2 x Pace bikes to follow in due course (one of which will be up for sale at somepoint - maybe with the XTR you see on the Kona here)
Stem wise, yes I am currently talking to some guys on here about getting some new stems CNC'ed. It is an expensive solution but would allow me to retain the unique look the current set up has. I am also considering what you suggest as this may be easier to do. Does anyone know a reputable Ti welder?!?! Enigma Bikes?

Verrrry Nice
Thanks Steve. Off topic, but I am loving your new Almega DX, this was my first proper MTB back in the day. Was nice to see your pics in the other thread, amazing condition! Make sure you look after it... and first dibs if you decide to sell on!!!
Cheers,
TBH, I thought I was in a bit of a minority with the A-stars loving, but in the short space of time I've been here, I've been surprised just how many admirer's (and prev owners) have come out the woodwork, especially seeing as they weren't widely available, BITD.
Anyways, back to your fantastic Hei Hei. . . . . . . .
Loving the forks, a lot, uber cool IMO.
