Lots....just nae funds. They are very similar to your plans, few differences. It will rival the pimpness though...just you wait!

jmillen

Well, some progress pics. Recent "upgrades" (in addition to WCS Carbon bars & X0 shifters)....

Schwalbe Nobby Nics
Ritchey WCS Carbon Stem
Ritchey WCS Carbon Seatpost

NICE! Where did you find the Nobbys with stripe?!

You need a white saddle...

lappymatt

does this bike ever get ridden? looks like a bit of a bedroom bike

jmillen

Jeast, I got them from Merlin Cycles

bigwehttam, about 100 miles a week or more

I'm just a bit of a cleaning freak Gets full wash every time I get back from a ride

lappymatt

lol I understand, I am too

i liked the blue panaracer's but them white stripes are real classy good work.

how do you keep the white stripe clean though :?:

jmillen

Its funny you should say that....I was thinking that when I was fitting them on the rims. Just have to get some new ones if they start getting too dirty

andy46

some muc off and a scrubbing brush after every ride should do it

Carbon....yep
Ritchey...yep
White....yep

Perfect?

Stoo61

That saddle would perfect that bike.

jake_tenfloors

you bought that saddle then yet??

Just want to see it complete!

Salsa

I also need one of those WCS Carbon saddles to finish off my Salsa (I have even more WCS parts than yourself) but Paligap who import Ritchey haven't got the black ones in stock yet !!!

Your HT Pro looks pretty sweet though & the white version would certainly add to the look.

Don't worry too much about the set up of the forks, I leave it at 95psi positive and 105 psi negative. I weigh 65kg ish, and found this set up to be nice.

could not disagree more, getting the bike and particularily the suspension corectly set up for the rider is essensial to getting the fork working at its best for the rider. set up is important, and should be done carefully, patiently, and with the view of forever improving the ride.

jmillen

Hey all,

Nope, haven't bought the saddle yet although I must admit I am somewhat tempted, just to see what it look like if nothing else

Splottboy

2 nice 2 ride. Put in the Smithsonian...

Jeast

Might look something like this...

joshtp

woooooooooooo that sadle is nice! loving al the ritchey wcs kit, really seats the bike off, and makes it look very "pro racer"

jmillen

identiti nut

rigth that does it, i'm getting a pro on monday!

jmillen

Whats convinced you identiti nut ?

identiti nut

Aswell as all your boardy pro bike pimp/porn pictures, i have a 1k c2w voucher burning a hole in my pants.

The pro was in the list of potential bikes and as much as i research other makes, the pro just keeps popping back up as the one to go for........

So halfrauds here i come on monday and bam, she will be mine....

jmillen

Don't know if you've seen but they're releasing a Limited Edition of it in December (although to be honest, I don't like the colour scheme) so I'd go with the standard Pro.

Go for it, you won't be disappointed Gimme a shout if you have any queries when you get it, be happy to help

identiti nut

yeah i saw that, not a big fan of the colour scheme personally.

Well got a pro on order, should be here in a week. So i'll pop off on holiday and hopefully it'll be there when i get back.

identi Nut:

I picked up my Boardman Pro 09 mtb Monday night from Halfords - rode it home. Tuesday cycled to work, went to a relatives and on way home...left pedal flew off and sheared the threads on the Stylo crank arm.

Gutted to say the least, and glad it happend two minutes walk from my house. However I now have to take it back to Halfords who today said they will replace it all on the spot tomorrow evening.

Basically a word of warning really - when you pick it up, check everything is tightened up as this appears to be the fault of the young lad who built it up at Halfords last weekend...!

Other than that, the bike is brilliant, I exchanged my GT I-Drive xcr5 (idrive was creaky...) and the Boardman is just so much more fun to ride (the ltd time I used it lol!) - very quick and overall worth the money.

Now...I have a date with a Halfords employee for a lynching tomorrow night ha ha

Enjoy the bike when you get it - I am.
