How about then?

If not name your date and I'll do my best to make it

Meet & Ride

I can make the 17th for a West Midlands ride and should have the Xizang built up ready for that.

Also Tim I will be near Leeds over Christmas so I am sure we can meet up for a spin in the Dales, I expect it could be in the snow!

Sorry The Ken, I would if I could! Honest

So did anything ever happen with this...?

 

[The Ken]

Not that I know of, not sure even if he turned up at the west midlands ride.

They are discounted stateside now, it will be difficult for me as I'm in the states next week and my credit card isn't maxed out for a change. Really hope I don't see one.

Apologies for the lack of responses, but....

I have finally, after a lot of searching, got all the bits for this bike together.

It's almost perfect aside from the grips and the bars but for now we have it!

I'll post some photos tomorrow but here is the spec:

2013 GT Xizang 26" frame
RockShox SID fork
Thomson Stem & post
WTB silverado
XTR groupset
XTR Brakes/Hope Race X2
XTR wheels/Hope SP3 XC6
Charge Splashback tyres 2.1f 1.8r
Crankbrothers candy pedals
Hope BB
Hope seatclamp
Giant carbon bars
Nuke proof grips


I am London based and still looking for a bike(s) to shoot with this build. If anyone has a bike they are happy to let me use then that's great and we can organise a meet.

Cheers!

Dave

Forgot I took a photo!

Prior to the front derailleur arriving I took a few shots. Only got this one for now but will put some more up tomorrow.

Cheers nevadasmith, can you get to London easily?

Don't forget to put in you're review "most of the people that want to buy this bike can't figure out why the 26er is not available to buy..."

 

[thebaker]

And some photos...

Re: Forgot I took a photo!

Yeah should be able to depends when/where you are planning to ride and if I get a go on the new one!! Looks awesome - I like it as a 29er.

This is a pic of mine as its built at the moment. Suntour/Manitou. I can easily switch that to XT or XTR and Rockshox if you'd prefer that.
