Haha its Ben Travis' old one, he put it through some fair abuse. I like abused bikes more than clean ones though, more character. Thanks dude, it rides nothing like I've ever ridden before. Love it. Will post an update once I slap some brakes on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 glad you like it man. It served me well, so hopefully it'll do the same for you. Don't let it down, make sure you get discs on it. Nothing better then the feeling of a silent bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i like cunning stunts Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Looks good just out of interest ben are you getting an arcade next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 i am indeed sir. I think the slightly longer cockpit will suit me a little better. It'll be the first time i've had a full new bike in years (since i got an adamant IIRC). Excited is an understatement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Nothing better then the feeling of a silent bike Better pack the hub with grease then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 wtf this is mint Bet you can't wait to get your 24 albeit not quite the same. glad you like it man. It served me well, so hopefully it'll do the same for you. Don't let it down, make sure you get discs on it. Nothing better then the feeling of a silent bike Cheers man! Sure looked like it did from the videos I saw, bought some Magura mt2's for it. Hopefully works well, may look at investing in some better brakes in the future. Maybe saints if I'm having a good day. Reckon I should respray it black to make it look cleaner or does the slight battered effect suit? Not sure yet myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Could run maguras on it and it'd still be silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good man im still undecided to get one as my first love is technical riding on rocks / comps. Really I need two bikes but your talking over 3k which is a big pill to swallow for a couple of bikes :/ Edited December 3, 2013 by i like cunning stunts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Could run maguras on it and it'd still be silent. Haha would probably also cripple the disc only rims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 MT2's are awesome brakes for the money. Use some 180/185 rotors and you'll love them. Looks sweet dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
