    me neither, prefer black.

    Given that my other bikes are quite colorful, this is going to be all black, apart from the red hubs... should turn out quite nice....

    I know - I was in denial... I was going to use it, but I have enough cash to get the new XT (and I like it because it's black) so thought why not.

    I will sell my near mint 07 set....

    haha you light weight. You've got nothing to worry about. I have a zaskar le singlespeed, versus trigger ( downhill) versus blitz ( freeride/downhill) trance advanced, anthem team, airborne titanium road bike, oyama folder, the big O ( mono wheel ) and rocky mountain slayer frame and airborne black widow frame. You can never have too many until you run out of space. got to get a look at your mythic mate and compare it with my blitz. what to do say?

    Sounds like a bit of a plan... you're not far from me..... where abouts do you ride (locally?)

    I still need to shift this viral thing that I have had, may be a while before I can ride without feeling faint.... but as soon as I am back on track with health and fitness defo!!

    local rides are shorne and cobham, xc on the north downs and before we go to morzine a bit of jumping at bertha's. I've been out of action for six weeks with a cracked rib from the slowest fall off ever. Clipped a tree and landed on the end of the bars. Been back in action about two weeks now. post something when you're up for it.
