I ordered the Atlas AM cranks in the end, and the tango cassette and just in case that wasn't enough orange, I also ordered an orange bash guard too...currently looking for a chain guide with orange roller... :oops:Santa Cruz Chameleon

yep. it' a good match, tones it right down. it works.
like i said before, you're lucky you can mix and match 2 solid colour schemes (the white bling and black) and make either work.0 -
i have those grips but in grey. they are great. did you get haribo with yours?0

Of course :P
They certainly seem to be very nice, grippy too.0 -
Looks a lot nicer in it's current guise i reckon. how you finding the different bars?0
-
The Diabolus bars are great. I had them on to start with, but "upgraded" to the Atlas bars at a later date. The rise and sweep is just right for me, I should probably never have changed, I was just seduced by the orangey lovelyness 0

Ah cheers fella.
Not until Sunday.
It's all run on private land, so the course only gets marked out the day before. Might pop up tomorrow afternoon for a quick look. 0 -
Nice build 8)
I really shouldn't keep looking at threads like this- building another bike is getting too tempting...0 -
gotta say it looks miles better now and the front end looks sorted, it looked too low before.Viner Salviati

Cheers. It definately feels better with the higher rise bars fitted. As an added bonus, I just sold the Atlas bars for £30 over on SDH
Now for some treats 0 -
Yeah, a couple of the Wiggle X Charge orange bits would finish it off nicely.0
-
Nah, The seatpost is too short, and the grips and saddle I already have are better anyway
Think I might just put it towards some new tyres or something (when I need them).0 -
a white headset and bashring would finish it off a treatViner Salviati

No bashrings, I like my big ring and it gets plenty of use.
White headset is an idea, but I'm in no rush to swap out the excellent Orbit MX headset that's already fitted.
Thought about maybe getting a new stem, either orange or white. Possibly a Spank Tweet Tweet. But not decided yet. Not really in a rush to change anything right now.0 -

Noooooo, my poor baby
Damage after one of the failed uplifts at yesterday's DH race (failed because the grass was too slippy for the quad and trailer, which slid back down the hill into a bush):
I also managed to break one of the teeth on the big chainring, scratch the crowns on the pikes, and put a ding in my front rim, along with a couple more little scratches and chips to the paintwork.0 -
that's a bit of twatbuggery if ever there was some. :shock:
on the other hand they are legitimate man war wounds and you've earned them. it's how it is.
time for a new bike then, eh? 0 -
Lol, no not quite. Although a re-spray may be on the cards before too long.
I'd be keeping all the current parts, so think either a subtle Matte Black, or a lairy green (like the summer season 456) would work well with the orange bits.
Only thing is, it'd not have any on-one decals on it any more.0 -
get the Ti on-one and do a clean Ti / white / orange build, shed a load of weight ............and money, but the kids don't have to have xmas and birthdays every year.0
-
Unless everyone who has one on order at the moment starts reporting how rubbish they are, the next frame is the Carbon one, which is Matte black anyway. But that's not going to be until next year now.0

I'll look into that.0 -
Gah that must be a pisser
There was an article on Pinkbike a while ago, comenting on how easily uplifts damage bikes, how were they transporting the bikes yesterday?What We Achieve In Life, Echoes In Eternity0 -
They had a trailer, hitched to the back of a big farm spec quad. It set off up the hill, then lost traction and slid backwards. There was an audible *gasp* from everyone whose bike was in the trailer as it slid into a hedge.0
