Gary Fisher Cake 2 DLX.

cmd205

I've had a search and I don't think there are any other images of a Cake 2 so I thought I'd put mine up. I'd be interested to hear peoples opinions of this. I purchased it in December last year from a guy who had it from new (it's a 2005 model!!). He had hardly covered any mileage and it still had the factory grips and tyres. Since I've had it I've fitted Outland CNC pedals, Maxxis high rollers and a Truvative Gigapipe bottom bracket.

I also got fed up of gear change problems (Cannock Chase is my local and the mud is more like gritty sand) so I drilled out my cable stops last week and went full outer cable on both front and rear gears. The results were amazing.

Anyway heres the pics and spec:

I'm thinking of getting a few anodised bike bling bits. Do you guys reckon blue or red?

I'll stick some pics up after fitting.

i think both blue and red will look good.

I'd go for red personally. Not too much though. I'd also swap the saddle (unless you find it especially comfy).
