casualjoe Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Looks good, did you try to squeeze out (remove) as much resin as possible from the carbon when it was wet in the mould? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Looks pretty impressive, after going for a ride yesterday, think a downtube guard is in order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank_rider Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Got a new bike being built at the moment to replace my 4x/jumping hardtail, due to bad ankles I'm swapping onto a full sus. Got the frame 2nd hand and building it up with mostly bits off the old hardtail. Will hopefully be all built up by the end of the week, will be a nice shorter travel trail bike for when the supreme is a little too OTT, also I'm going to be racing DH on the supreme a lot this summer so will have boxxers on it most of the time. They new house only being 15 mins from chicksands I think they'll both see plenty of use this next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank_rider Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Nice brakes!! Haha, just need to swap the hoses over now as I had to get them in continental setup while the extra 10% was on CRC. Have got the rear wheel and cranks/chain device/pedals on now.

Mr_scott Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Been riding the Meta 6 so much these last few months. Went up Coed y Brenin and Llandegla afew weeks ago and did three full days of riding. Beast has a lot of good single track. Didnt think too much of Llandegla after riding Coed but was still sweet riding the skills area and pump track. Although the new black section is pretty sweet. Got a set of Lyrik coil u-turn insanely cheap, stripped them the other day and gave them new seals, fresh oil and put a light sping in them, well plush. Also got a Gravity Dropper. They look pretty shat with the rubber boot but I've had it on over a month now with no problems. For me, it makes riding the trails so much more fun not having to stop every two mins. Just orded the 4" drop inner post for it so i can slam the seat more. Last update was the Renthal bar and stem. Abit of porn!

Miles Mallinson Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Nice meta, did you build that up from the vip frame?, Llandegla is a bit tame compared to Coed, that bike looks great with Lyriks, how do you like the renthal stem i always thought they look kinda strange?

tank_rider Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 That meta 6 looks properly sorted. The horse is finally all built up, just needs a new shifter as the sram rocket has managed to break in the time between being taken off the old bike and onto the new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 The goat. Still needs spraying black and some twombolts Twombolts? Why, maybe its just me but i really do not like them. Get royals or good old profiles! Looks awesome i really like it, one of my favorite bikes on here, but please tilt your bars back it isn't a trials bike.

N.Wood Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Twombolts? Why, maybe its just me but i really do not like them. Get royals or good old profiles! He should definately get rid of perfectly good cranks because you don't like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
