That is really nice, how you finding it compared to you're old frame?

so far ,its all good :P i've only rode it for a hour but i feel like i can gap slightly further and backwheeling stuff seems effortless ,at the moment im trying to learn to manual and i have high hope that i'll be able to so all in all this i a really nice frame to ride and im glad to have made the change.

Ah, mine arrived today too albeit in charcoal! Will post pics up when its fully built tomorrow.

Originally ordered blue, but changed to grey as wasnt sure how the colour would come out. Seems to look really different in differing lights.

Quite like that though! Glad to hear it rides well... :)

Whats the rear like, in practice is it stiff enough for no booster?

it is very slightly purple,but it seems to change its colour depending on the light :blink: but the picture shows it as a bright blue for some reasomlol

im running 18/15 at the moment , 16/14 must be real close to the chainstay?

That looks lushhhhhhhhhhhh

btw have you found more bolts for your disk

lol

Ben

p.s Cya saturday

lol ,i got the bolts mate but if you could find me some holes for the bolts to go into i would appreciate that loads

Looks the sex :D Does that chain rub a lil.... Looks that way?? How does she ride?? :D

the chain is very close to the chainstay ,i ended up puting on a chainstay protector as i didnt want the paint to chip just yet.

she ride really nice ,and the cockpit isn't too different from my pitbull so thats cool; the bb height is more comfortable i reckon so she ride really nicely (Y)

surely you mean mm?

:P

i did indeed benjaminge.

the rear end is fairly stiff,well stiffer than my pitbull.my brakes aren't honking at all which i think is due to the built in brakebooster,though they do let out a deep noise when pushed but thats ok .

hope you enjoy your need steed (Y)

cheers for the comment and questions ,steve
