Got my forks back today, so my thanks to Chaser for going the extra mile to help me out.
This has spurred me on to start the build, so a flurry of activity for several hours has got to this stage.
Nice little touch on the Ti bolt head...
This, by default was my main ride, when I actually did any. I have tried to be faithful to my original bike, which was basically all the parts from a 97 karakoram on a Bravado frame.
As I have a little more disposable these days, I have taken some licence and upgraded in a few areas.
The Kore Elite stem & Ti Skewers, the Judy XCs, a nice leather & Ti SST...plus mainly XT in place of LX..the wheels are higher spec 221s and the Velociraptors are the Kevlar kind...ummm a lot of licence then to be fair...
I have though, I suspect, made one slight error....the frame was the same size as my original....which was a little too big BITD, meaning it still is.
Reckon I will need to be on the look out for a size smaller to make her perfect, but she will do for now....

M950 series would be nice though
