there marmite bars thats for sure. ideal for SS, though i wouldnt use then if i was running gears etc.

ride_whenever

I like it, a lot.

Would like to try those bars or the bontrager touring ones that are similar.

mmmmmmmoots *drools*

Good work.

Salsa

Yeah Moots are so nice :P
I'd just change the fork for a curved rigid one as I find those straight legged ones ugly & too flexy, apart from that great spec choices 8)

saltyman

been out today.....up and down hills, along city streets etc, perfect.

love this bike

jpstar

Chain looks a bit slack on that...?
Nice bike though.

BlackSpur

A classic!

You know, there's something stylish about a brown saddle.

I have a similar colour scheme on my bike and have thought about getting a Charge Spoon in brown - you've just confirmed a purchase.

Nice bike - not too sure about the bars buy hey they sure look different.

There's some lovely components on there :-) Love the brooks saddle, how does it fair when it gets a soaking though? My Dad always rides one but he put's a cover over it when it's wet as they don't like too much water

saltyman

had no issues with the swallow Ti saddle, was out in the rain today, when it gets damp it just goes darker in colour rather than acting as a sponge.........you dont get any more wetter than a leather saddle thankfully.

added a new chris king Ti headset tonight........

The Big Cheese

Lovely!! 8)

I like the frame but not a fan of the rest of the build sorry

Paul 8v

Really expensive but beautifull bits of kit those Chris kings, I love my Rasta one :-) Looks great on that bike

cheers, they are a nightmare to find, the kingTi only gets released twice a year in small batches. had to get mine from the USA......only a 5 day wait so not too bad at all.

Alienman

Its a Canadian made bike so you shouldn't be complaining about having to get a part from the USA.

Buy Canadian

Alienman

Some quality stuff comes out of those Rockies. You definitely need quality out there cause they take their riding seriously.

saltyman

yeah, i had a dekerf, loved it, now im loving the moots!

big fan of canadian steel and Ti 8)

Alienman

I've been enjoying my Rocky Mountain for the short period I've had it. Too bad I don't have the money for some upgrades

saltyman

titanium skewers without QR, simple and light.

DMR v12 magnesium flats, colour goes well and my fave pedals.
