too much different couloured anodising round the grips though, looks a bit naff to me.

k2rider

this is how to do bling, its not my bike but a fellow k2/prflex owners bike, all 17.68lb of it.

Chaz.Harding

Speed_King, Nice pedals. Blingy (no surprise there... )

Chris King to a gold No-Thread-Set ya' know, right?? :twisted:

And Industry 9 do a gold superlight wheelset too :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

You KNOW you want it (I know I do! Maybe not gold though...)

k2rider, sorry, but that has nevr been ridden

k2rider

bigchaz, sorry it has its his race bike, thats when it was first built.

Chaz.Harding

k2rider It wasn't a dig at anyone. Wouldn't blame the guy (or girl!) who owns it for not using it. Hang it on the wall, or as a centre peice for tables and stuff.

It's only 'cause I'm jealous

Now that is what you call Coooooollllllll Bling and proper lightning.

Speed_King

I know i can get the gold chain from kmc, the gold cassette ( no point if you are gonna ride the hell outta it!!) and i do have gold on my hubs as well seeing as i use hope pro II ones, the gold cable interest me though? and the gold rotars very nice, i thought yo ucouldnt get any becaue unlike the hope you cant change the centres on avid disc's nice idea though..
Cheers

Speed_King

Indeed we do sheepsteeth, Wht suits one person doesnt necesarily suit another, each to their own i say

not bad hey ???

Speed_King

This may be up for sale soon looking for around £1000 who's up for givng me sensible offers ( ps steve i still want your frame)

wheres the mountains

whats occurin? :]

Speed_King

I cant believe i had to post a comment on my own page to get it back here again, what the heck are they playing at taking it off in the first place?

jamesst

hiya gaz, been away for the weekend, what do u reckon my frames worth then? it'll be sold with the FSA headset on it still?

Speed_King

Ohh dunno mate how much did you pay for bike and was it brand new when you did?More to the point what do you want for it?

Speed_King

looking at your pics on pinkbike it looks on closer inspection you got some damage or scratches near the headset, or so it appears? Ob from a distance your frame looks perfect like mine lol hoe many marks/imperfections do you have mate?

adb1006

lol - you two do realise that there's a PM button :roll:

ps - why do you have a chainstay protector on the opposite side to your chain? Surely that's just adding weight
