    Steve you were the one who was telling me not to have stickers and anyway i cant !! The strips on the top tube are also engrained into the frame and it would look stupid have gold decals overlayed ontop of the originals

    I love the hardtail cheesy great spec mate the rims are tops for the pricing well durable . It cant be much lighter than mine though you stated tht yours was 21lbs + without pedals, mine is only 0.4 lbs more than 21lbs so what was the exact weight cause tht aint a whole hell of a differance m8 ?

    But... a Stumpjumper is quicker...

    Especially one lightened a fair bit like mine...

    Not as shiny though. :wink:

    And I'd be happy to race you up any hill... :wink::D

    Ha ha - it's around the same as yours give or take, I weighed it a while back on my mates scales, it came in 'just' over 21lb....

    It's have to be one of those 'who will ever know' type issues... lol :wink:

    Thanks Matt, been with me for 2 years now and I love it. it only gets 'aired' on sunny/good weather days - as it's a fecker to clean!!

    It's treated almost like a road bike, only ever gets used on the road with slicks on, or VERY light XC with RRs on.

    I use the Quake to get dirty and messy - it brings the child out in me! :lol:

    My Stumpy doesn't get too much abuse now either - I did throw it up and down the muddiest of hills, into boggy terrain and all sorts and kept breaking stuff so looking after it a bit better now (having spent over £400 on new bits!).

    Mine's more like 23lbs though.

    Im in SE london - not exactly known for its trails... lol

    I have some great woodland near me, that has everything you could ask for though which is great, but I ride it so much it's become stale, and I know every inch of it, now the better weather is here, bikes are going in the back of the van and away I go.......
