As some of you might know, i got the frame for 50 quid of the bay, however once built, im thinking it maybe a bit big, here it is with some bits so i can ride it, however i might be tempted with a swap for another frame

nice frame but to many diffrent colours.

just what i had lying around - honest

right, thanks to Marky Mark, i ve swapped the front end for an 18", had to buy a betd main replacement bearing kit, and winning some Mr T's of the bay i decided to cobble this, doesnt seem to bad, forks are a bit stiff, poss too high oil, but look forward ot giving it a thrashing

LTS - cant go wrong!!

I love mine, that looks like a great F&F combo, Id maybe swap the chainrings and stem, in the fullness of time of course.

How does it ride with a DC fork???

I keep thinking my z2 is too short...

the back end does sag a bit, so maybe the shock is knackered or its too soft, but will be riding it at the weekend, poss upto leith hill

4.7" rear, and 5.1" up front

This is mine...

Love it...

Its really whippy and fast with the short forks tho...

I think they ride really well
