[Sithlord]

Cracking job there fella..

a frame and fork combo like this can't go wrong. But you topped it of with some really cool parts. and for that kind of money, really well done!
I really like the crankset, with the silver turbines, black RF rings and blue bolts.

Very nice bike

Looks really great just not sure about the saddle, just my opinion (hard to say anything like that without sounding critical)

What do you think that weighs in at??

i bought the brown charge saddle because i was going to fit butterscotch tyres and i thought it would suit..... it'll probably be changed at some point as its not exactly comfortable.

the bike weighs in at 22ibs, the frame alone is 3ibs

Nice build, but speaking of cracking - is that rear hub flange showing the tell-tale crack above the spoke? Might just be my Hope paranoia.

Cool, didn't want to worry you. I've had a few fail in the last few years, but that might be from being a bit overenthusastic with them - they sound awesome!

you actually made me check :? but no the hubs are perfect, they havent seen much use over the years, and the cassette on these wheels sound fantastic!!

Thats impressive

What happened to the butterscotch tyres have you any pics with it on them??

Lol are any saddles comfy, have had a go on my mates muddyfox fox at the weekend and im still suffering was thinking of a cushion taped over a bike seat maybe a little less painful lol - And I only did a few circuits of the garden :shock: keep looking at a flite I plan to use on my build and wondering if i should be trying to get over the pain thing by sitting on it whilst watching tele and eating dinner ...
