Nice Recons.

Did you work on it on your drive?

Last time I did any work outside the lawn claimed half of my split link :x

Nice workstand too- I have the same one 8)

I did build it on my drive, apart from installing the headset which was done at my shop's workshop. I was surprised at how smoothly the Flying Snakes cables shifted. I'd like a set of SLX cranks to go with the gear kit, but that will have to wait. Got new bars on the way as the current ones are just a set of Easton Havoc's I had lying around and are heavy.

looks very nice indeed

New bars have now arrived...... bargain set of FSA Pro Carbon low rise (alloy with carbon wrap for bling factor). The brakes need a bleed, 160mm with a lever pulled to the bar still isn't particularly powerful with 13 1/2 stone rider on board. I'll take it to work tomorrow and bleed them on my lunch break, then it's ready to start being ridden in anger

2007 Gary Fisher Marlin frame
Rockshox Recon SL 2009 fork
Avid Juicy 5 160mm brakes
Full SLX 2009 gearing with outers and liners from Flying Snakes

You got that part wrong.
You have the 2010 model.
Feeling more happier now?

guilliano

OK, 2010 will do nicely. As long as it's working I'm happy
