Blue SID's complete that. Looks pukka Si, and a user. Very nice kidda

Cheers bud, appreciated, I was going to get the forks colour matched , but the blue has grown on me.. and I think its a classic colour for Sids.. . :)
 
I'm just waiting now (got the popcorn and a cuppa sat here.... :LOL: ) for a full bike pic.. :p

Oh yeah, and a Ritchey saddle... ;) :roll: :LOL:
 
Great Bike Si. Really looking forward to details on what hippitech did to the forks (any chance of pics?). Will there be a separate thread detailing the fork mods?
 
Steering and control is now handled by a loverly WCS bar,, :)

Getting the power down required something light, reliable , easy to strip and service and most of all suiting to the build... so what else could I use.. :)

Ritchey Lockring to keep the 8speed cassette nice and tight on a dura ace Ti freehub body.. :)
Next up was the cassette,, :) currently fitted is a custom sram unit as the titanium unit I chose for the project was too light and fragile for mountain use , I went through a few nice cassettes, testing and adjusting weights and ratio's
 
Si.

When I saw this bike at the Gisburn ride back in Feb this year I thought It could never ever look better than it did that day.

I stand corrected and salute you on a awsome job and IMO one of the coolest bikes on here.
 
splendid :shock: :shock: :shock:

but you can not leave this front mech : :evil:
