Scrubbed the XT chainset , in favour of something a lot cooler IMO :roll:
Just need a quick polish up and they wiil be going on . The new seatpost,saddle,mechs and grips arrived this week , so they're on now . Been a busy week , what with building up Paola and a couple of after work rides too . Anyway , here's how she looks now , hope you like her

Cheers Bart , I'm pleased you like it buddy . I'm happy with the way this one is shaping up . Just waiting for some black SPDs to turn up then I'm a rollin' ! BTW went out on the Scott yesterday ,
Good two hour ride , but those Ritchey Z-Maxs are shocking :shock: Was running them at around 40psi and didn't seem to grip on anything :facepalm:
How's the mango machine looking ?

Re: Gary Fisher Kaitai

Hi Mike,

Try a bit less pressure in those tires. Might work with 30-35 psi.....

The mango is finished. Will change the stem, but it's useable for now!

Someone suggested Wildgrippers

Well I guess thats official then :roll: can you get them in red ? Black is a better option than Bianchi green I guess .
Will lookout for some

Hi Paul ,
Yes I'm pleased with her look . I've seen those Ritchey SPDs -V4- and they're £46 new . Black M520 Shimano SPDs , £16 . No contest really . I'd like the red ones though , maybe I can paint mine :?:
