Still don't like the look of the tyres though, meh whatever saves me wearing out my lovely intense xc3's. ;)

    In all seriousness, bike looks good pal. Love the white charge seat and grips. 8)

    Tyres are tyres...as long as they have air in and a few grips they are fine by me lol :roll: :P

    Liking the torch too...Same as mine :D

    I wasn't so sure about getting the grips to match the saddle but they're growing on me.

    Lol well i was the main originator for people to buy the p7 as i was one of the first to buy it here, did have to knock up a spacer with a tap washer and bronze dowel as the spring wasn't strong enough apart fro that it shows up lights that are far more expensive. ;)

    I still have a couple more xtr bits and a thomson seatpost to buy but apart from that she's finished, i needed the oakleys first as my last cheap glasses broke on me. 8)

    Here's a hi res version. ;)

    It sure does, boils up really fast too, it's a kenwood, been through quite a few and so far this is the best one, 2kw element i think. :?

    As for the ralphs, no need as i love my intense xc's anyway, they grip like a fire xc but roll much faster. ;)

    Nice cooker - 500 or 600mm wide?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    600mm i believe, cannon chesterfield, damned good cooker got it for a bargain £380 too. ;)

    Will post up new pics soon, it's changed a bit so could use an update and i hate the look of the kendas. 8)

    Do me a favour. Before you take the next pics take the saddle bag off ! :wink:

    I don't mean to be rude - I've just an irrational dislike of them - especially when they spoil the line of a decent looking bike. :)

    Yeah course i will good suggestion, kind of spoils it but still a necessary evil when on the trails. ;)

    Lovely looking bike. Is that a charge spoon saddle, if so how are you finding it?

    Quite good, came from a bel air rl and though it's more padded there's little between the two.

    I have a wtb silverado i may give a try that looks comfortable, no more pics for a bit though as i've broken the hub on my front wheel, im currently chasing hope for a warranty replacement, if i get one i'll have me a similar build only with a pro 2 instead of the xc hub.

    Are these anthems pretty quick cross country?

    Very, certainly one of the fastest all rounders, can certainly hold it's own against fsr epics.

    Bike of the year 2009 ;)

    X0 *drool*

    The Anthems are definitely rapid, I have an uncontrollable urge to sprint everywhere on mine. A proper big grin bike :D

    Looks good Dazza!

    Thanks, i've sorted a front wheel out so have a hope hoop on the way, come christmas im tied between getting new forks or a pair of I9 wheels.

    My rebas are 1st gen so im thinking of getting tf tuning to get them pushed if they still can which still leaves me to get the wheels.

    Or failing that buy a hope pro 2 rear and buy some magura durins or manitou r7 carbon absolute.

    Decisions!!! :lol:

    Ive got Superstar Components hubs on mine (superfast/superleggera), and so far im damn impressed, accelaration is stupid when you have 120 point engagement, was thinking of hopes for mine but i really hate the noise of the freehub and they're heavier and more expensive.
