    Hi James how ya doing m8?

    Hows your leg feeling now, still not sure about the m4 carbon hardtail frame bud, its £950 worth of thought might just stick with the one i got for now, i did look at other possiblilties like resprays at argos cycles the only company with speciallized seal of aproval tht wont invalidate your warrenty.. but then i gotta go through all the fuss of stripping it ( or getting someone to do it for me) then shipping it offto their place then waiting a week to get it back the only good thing is tht the painting isnt too dear upto £150 for a single colour and fresh decals. they do offer free carriage there and back though, then i got to get my LBS to resemble the part on my frame which is another £80 ..

    ££££ and a fair bit of it lol

    Very nice. Love the white seat post, and bar/stem combo, and the red Hope rotors.

    Awesome.

    Thanks for reply, may try an all white colourway, watch this space > (SPACE)

    I specced myself an all white build aswell but it began to look a bit dear, especially when I started going into such depth as spokes......

    Now that would be good :lol:
    Know what you mean though - esp if the bike is complete already.

    Thanks mate, but above all it's riding like a dream now..got the gears set up by my LBS and they shift faultlessly, belive the upgrades shaved quite a few pounds of the original bike, now weighs in at 25.4lbs so feels good on the trails :D

    I mullered the charge grips on a stack during the weekend, ripped the grips completely off..these are nice though, stem length is 100 with a slight rise
