Like it.

You need to fix that broken drawer on the sink and get your bIoody shoes off the table though.

Thanks, the last pic of the seatpost was taken at work so dont care about the drawer.

Thanks to everyone who has voted in my poll so far, most people seem to like it!

Not really anything I want to change now, just ride it and see how everything goes.

203mm rotors look funny on a XC bike.

kopite1979

nice ride, not sure about the tyres though

HandjobDan

Nice bike and spec too, would look really good with a white fork, but the Reba is a top choice.

+1... get a 180 upfront and a 160 out back!

duron1

I have ran 160/160, 180/160, 180/180 and I prefere the 200/200, I hardly use my brakes and so I like a very on/off feeling so I can just bring it to a stop if i need to. Great for how I ride. I work with bikes day in day out so I have ridden many differnet brake combos.

The Northern Monkey

fair enough... jsut a bit nuts on an xc bike thats all!

Peaty runs 160mm front and 140mm rear..... thats how you know someone never uses their brakes

duron1

lol yeh i know, everyone is differnet, I like to keep 6 bolts for my brakes aswel unlike Steve. Im not on a weight limit too.

The Northern Monkey

lol, I explained that to my dad the other day. 3 ti bolts instead of 6.....

duron1

Yeh, to me its not worth it on any of my bikes. Espes my commuter bike, weights loads, around 17kg but not that bothered as it takes me everywhere without a problem.

The Northern Monkey

what does the orbea weigh?

duron1

10.8kg inc. pedals, bottle cage and speedo.
