Orange Mr XC - Build Thread

[Carge]

Finally got round to taking a pic this afternoon... was a bit overcast

 

[Khane]

very nice, i do like the touches of blue dotted about the bike

 

[Carge]

Cheers bud,
You can't see the blue Pace bars in that photo - will have to take more tomorrow.
I was considering putting blue hope hubs on it - stitched to silver 517s.
But actually - I think I might stick to the black hopes & the 317s
What do you think?

 

[Khane]

i think both would work pretty well.

but if the blues aint built go with the blacks and ride it

That's turned out really well. Nice full suss xc bike

Bottle cage location is fairly random, but I guess there isn't many places to put it due to the frame design.

Thanks for your comments

@Khane - Oh I'm riding it alright - and loving it!

@EOB - you're right about the cage location - but oddly - the bottle has only fallen out once and that was when it was empty??

NOS Air-B tubes and NOS WildGrippers being fitted tonight.
How talcy are those Air-Bs?!?!

 

[Carge]

Wildgrippers fitted - and the sun's out - so I took a couple of pics....

[Carge]

I do too to be honest.
I'm planning a biggish ride next weekend - but as they have a hole in the sidewall of one of em - I want summat reliable.
What would you suggest?
