Snowflake - is it overly emotional, entitled, and have an inflated opinion of itself?

It should, it looks pretty special


(BTW- the front tyre, should the tread pattern run that way?)

Some nice parts on a really nice frame !

Personally, I prefer retro mtbs to be scarred riders with plenty of patina, but your ARC is pretty special indeed!

What's the condition of the M4's?
And are those HED rims laced to LX Parallax hubs.?

Snowflake because it is white as snow, that's all.
And personally I have no problem with my ego. Thank you for your reviews

Yes it's HED thermoplastics on LX.
HEDs of the poor
I still refuse to give £2500 to the scammers who bought their hed carbon £500 3 years ago...
The M4 is going very well, new elastomers

I think the joke was lost in translation

It just looks lovely, someone was looking for one of those Brodie boosters. I prefer the yellow and blue scheme, it looks, warmer should I say, I would be terrified to ride it, though I wouldn’t just stick it on a wall left for years, have you ridden it yet? I like the little sticker saying bike porn behind the strings, it’s a nice touch, these are starting to become a rarity these days… all it needs is a nice anodised blue ringlé bottle cage with a, hmm, for a twist I would go yellow or purple on the bottle. Or you could just keep it white.

Happy riding

Thanks.
I already have a yellow/turquoise and a turquoise/yellow.
This one I ride with yes, because it's a 97, solid.
The 94 and the 95 I do not ride with, too fragile
