Always looked the Carbon/Thermooplastic look.

Great looking frame, cant wait to see it built up

They are trials rims - not sure of their suitability as everyday MTB rims :?

To be honest the rear is a bit on the heavy side due to it's width. I'm hoping to make as much of that back as I can through the other components. The front feels the same as any other wheel.
I love the colour though. Those library pictures just don't do them justice!
The way I looked at it, it was wheels + tyres + skewers for £40. Grab it! If it turns out to be no good, flog it!


And Gadro, yeah a set of triple crowns would be nice but as the frame is a bit on the big side I don't want to jack the front end up any more than I have to.

More bits!:

Frame swap!

Looking for a longer bottom bracket and some gear shifters next.

:twisted: Grr this is so close to finished it's driving me mad!!

Original frame is now sunning itself in Spain. Frame #2 has much less chainsuck which makes it look damn shexy.

All I need to find is some 8 speed shifters and get it booked in at a shop for a headset and cassette fit (The stuff I don't have tools for)
After that, bung gear cables on and it's done. Simples.
