Reads well.

Let's have some pix

Nothing to show right now, and the weather is too gross for a photo shoot. My new front mech is due on the 6th now (Farking Canada Post) and I'll post some pics when I get the drive train set up.

Re:

Well, I got a nice day a week or so back and took some better photos. Unfortunately events have passed these by and the bike is functional (aside from some much needed fork oil and possibly new seals). I know she's not particularly pretty (especially compared to some recent builds), but this is the best I can do on my budget at present. I'm hoping to replace the stem with a silver Thompson and maybe polish the post - I like the polished components with the dark anno frames. Can't rationalize a new headset either, but I think a silver one would look nice on this frame too.

Anyhow I thought I'd post these us so you could see how she looks. Only difference now is new housing and cables. I really like how she rides now - looking forward to getting her out on the trails ASAP!
