freetrial Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Had an opportunity to swap my 09 Control frame for this Slate, and took it. Off to give it a proper pounding tonight. 9.2Kg Also, seeing as my last bikecheck-post was more popular because of a picture of my wife to be mowing the lawn, I`ll throw in another pic of her, just for good measures. Rides great BTW..... Edited January 15, 2010 by freetrial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetrial Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 That's one sweet bike. Thanks! New front tyre today: Schwalbe Furious Fred 2.25 (395g) ' The TR clamps had to go because of the angled wall on the Trialtech rim, and at tad poor placing of the 4-bolt mount. Did magic for the brake, which has no need for a booster. Oh... And I also found a few Ti-bolts... I love my shed! Haha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
