I must interject here, nothing weird going on!. I was missing the "O", infact very envious of the build you ave going on!
I bought this as a replacement just before winning a 222 on flea bay. I thought the 222 would be more fun to build so parted with the Patriot.
I dont have a hardtail at the mo' and just fancied a 4x bike rather than two similar springers.
That said I am awaiting a brand new blinged up five pro fresh from Orange
well at least it will look nice when it gets back to you and i need new forks on the patriot dunno what to run though as i have not got alot of cash :/
