It's just arrived. Big thanks to Rad for this one, cheers mate!

More pics and full spec to follow when I've had a fettle...

Now selling due to a herniated disc - spec is as the last pics, see for sale thread for details...

Here we go then...it is pretty much as it was when Radoslaw had it, but I've changed the cranks to see what I prefer (I love Middleburns and although the GT profile ones are nice, I think I prefer the British bling!).

I might also fit a slightly longer stem too, we'll see when I've ridden it!

Made a couple of changes that some will like, some won't. Fitted a blue Flite Alpes, Thomson stem and Easton Monkeylite carbon bars. Think I am going to need to change the forks as well, as they look great, but I need a bit more travel for my daily rider!

If anyone has some Fox 80mm forks that they would like to swap/do a deal on the AMP's with, then let me know.

He was perfect , with black crankset or just black chainring on the bike (it's my opinion)

I don't like this version :? ; but it's your bike
enjoy

Like I say, not everyone would like it, but for the record, it never had a black chainset or chainrings.

the riser bars just kill the look .

Straight bars just kill my back and I like to ride my bikes, so they have to go. Straight bars were a short lived trend from the early to mid 90's and were never based on function. Also a 98 Xizang would have been highly likely to sport a pair of risers - particularly high end carbon ones.

At least I didn't put bar ends on them.
