Carbon's your thing isn't it bud?! Looks great think you should sell me the spinergys though man!

 

[marin man]

You have more chance of peeing the sun out staf...the red hubbed superstiff are massively rare and cost me a bloody fortune

I typed red ribbed superstiff the first time...pmsl

 

[trek_y]

Blimey ! What have you done to my bike !!! :shock:

Looks great mate.

 

[marin man]

wouldnt recognise it would you

I wouldnt want to bump into that bike in a dark alleyway myself

I rode it too work today and the bloody left crank arm kept coming loose.....my fault bb is wider than the marin and I just fitted the hollowtech bb with the same spacers and there was not enough splinage to let the crankarm bite properly :twisted:

Anyway after pushing the bike home and removing the non drive cup and taking the spacers out and then refitting it,it was fine,tried again and report is....real fast and comfy to ride and stupidly light for a full sus,think the forks are a bit heavier than my sxr,but the frame is the best part of 2lbs lighter,weight is 23.9lbs.....

quite happy with that

better pics next week as I was going to take it to thetford but it needs a few tweaks and dont fancy doing it on the trail and forty miles from home.......

i likey
i lke how the weave catches the light in different ways and the flat bars and the cable guide
but not the noleens

 

[marin man]

Noleens are a bit love or hate.....but I love them

they track really well but not as well as the sxr I usually use.....good none the less
