Finally got round to fitting the tyres and Qr's and the grips.

    Wow, I though I'd colour co-ordinated my Kinesis fairly well but that needs sunglasses just to look at it :shock: . It is going to be a b*gger to keep clean though, especially the tyres :lol: (am I the only weirdo out there who cleans their tyres after each ride?).

    All in all a very stunning build in all senses. 8)
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    Sorry OP, but I don't like all the white...

    Don't take that the wrong way, everyone to their own and all that.... but for me the white tyres are way OTT....

    As long as you like it though, its all good!

    white is the new black man, white rules especially with another colour to really set it apart

    Make sure you don't turn your back on it when you're riding in the snow - you might never find it again.

    Looks fantastic. If it were mine I'd be tempted to buy a stormtrooper uniform to wear while riding it.

    LOL i love the work on it FSR class,

    though i have to say it makes me think of white trainers and townies just a bit, only cute ladies can generally get away with all white :)

    Thats fu*kin awesome Nick

    Would put a white Charge Spoon on it, the red Charge logo would compliment the 'lips' perfectly

    I'm not sure - Did you think you'd get a mixed response Nick? I just can't decide if I like it or not.

    See the rims, they are Halo freedoms right? Whats their intended use?

    ahhhh So I'd say I was a "big person" so they'd go nicely on mine I think, you reckon they'd go down well on the Crush? We ride all-mountainy stuff, such as Wharncliffe.
    So they are stronger than say, a Mavic XM 3 series?

    Marmite is nice though.

    I like Marmite as well.

    They were the wheels I've been eyeing up for the 'Marin'.

    It's going to be a bugger to clean, Nick...I'm finding it's a nightmare with the white frame of the 'Rocky Ridge'. Fine looking bike though, Nick.
