    Your bike looks spotless. Did you clean the bike then go out specifically to the river to take that picture?

    haha well it wasnt really dirty before i went out for a ride this eveining, but ill let you into a little secret, it did accidentally go for a swim in the river while taking the pic! and didnt go for a ride just to take the picture, just thought it looked nice. im not one of those who has a bike for show, it does get muddy! I just like to take care of it aswel 8)

    and your meta looks lovely.

    That is one nice looking bike and i think those forks make it. one question, are the talases on full travel as they look a bit short for 160mm?

    no I wound 'em down a bit, only went for a little trundle around the lanes. And they're 06 talas' so max travel is 150mm.

    good choice. just got back from wales with my enduro, and my 36's were faultless. and i also ended up swimming in a river.
    I said hit the brakes not the tree!!
