  • They look bloody ace! Did you get them anodized after buying them I take it? How much did it cost. Very interested in getting this done :D

    I bought them in the standard silver finish and then sent them for anodizing.

    yeah they look really good against the black frame.

    if you don't mind asking, how much did it cost to anodise the whole lot?

    £35 and Steve who did them stripped them down and built the levers back up.

    If you want his contact details drop me a PM. Really fast turn around as well, great guy to deal with.

    thats a pretty good price. i don't need anyting anodising but was just wandering as it's a very good job
  • Fitted the Maxxis higroller LUST front and Ignitor LUST rear tyres up today. Sealed and inflated seemingly quite easy, just need my new caliper bore caps then i can take it for a rasp.

    It's fair enough jay12 thught it was a corsa - i thought it was MG ZR at first :oops:
  • Small update, after ordering a redwin X0 rear mech from on one it arrived but unfortunately it was a medium caged one. So i have returned that and bought a long caged one from Fudges cycles.

    The brake parts have arrived at NWMTB's and they should be with me asap so hopefully i will have some good pics of it all built up and ready to ride next week. I cannot wait.

    Not weighed it yet but i estimate it to be 27-28lbs with the mudguards on, will try and get some proper scales to weigh it on at some point.

    Not taking the mudguards off, I like turning up at the local after a ride not shitted up and sit in relative comfort by the fire :lol:

    Cost, not sure really i would not like to add it all up :shock:
