Yeh its running a treat, well pleased with it. Had to swop the seat though, to a specialized body goemetery from my GT Timberline, as the Ritchey one that came with it was killing. Will proberly swop it for a WTB or Charge one if the specialized one gives me any trouble!!!!0

Looks superb in the sunshine. Which saddle was supplied with the bike mate? 8 days to wait for my Malt 1 to arrive. I think my GT knows its time is up, it was playing up yesterday in the mud and gave me its first puncture in 19 years. I didn't realise I could have had Mavic rims when I ordered my Malt, I have settled for the Shimano MT15's which come as standard with the package; any thoughts on those guys? Have handbuilt Mavic's on my road bike and have never had issues, do I need to make a phone call quick? :?0

Yeh I would make a call & upgrade to the Mavic's, worth the extra & they look better than the standard shimano rims. Yeh the Ritchey seat is not the best if you like a bit of padding on your seat. They had run out of WTB seats when mine was build so its worth asking what seats they are fitting at the moment.0

Thanks for the advice Baggyman; I think I will stick with the MT15's for now though as I have pushed the budget a bit already with the Recon fork and SLX groupset upgrade; I'll see how the Shimano's fair on our XC trails down here....
If the saddle supplied is pants I'll swap the Charge Spoon from my GT onto it, was just interested as I prefer the WTB perches
Have a good Easter!0 -
