i won this off ebay this week no postage tho but bensherman on here lives 5 minutes up the road from the seller so had offered to collect and forward to me true to his word he collected , boxed and sent it on it's way to me (total gent and credit to retrobike)

so after building the bike up and the darkness creaping in i only managed a couple of pictures

the spec is............

sr suntour forks (will be replaced with pace forks tomorrow)

hope c2 brakes

hope ti-glide 3dv hubs and mavic d521 rims

stx-rc shifters and front mech (will replace with xt bits soon)

xt rear mech

unknown bars and planet-x stem

fox rear shock

truvativ cranks (will be changed for raceface ones)

Nice one eck, like the sound of the changes so far would really suit the cnc machined look.
