This morning however i swapped over the standard black bars to some white Da Bomb Badbones, and took off the largest chainwheel because i rarely use it and replaced it with the white MRP bash. Oh and I swapped the tyres because the ones that came as standard I could not stand, slipped out round tight corners all to often, so now i've got a 2.35 High roller up front and a 2.1 Ignitor on the rear.

Oh, and stuck some 24Seven pedals on because it just came with some cheapo ones that were awful

thanks. seems a pretty good spec and i love the white and red colors 8)

Thanks, yeah I'm trying to colour code it nicely. Thinking maybe a white seat clamp to finish off for now.
