It's coming along nicely.

The entire bike cost me £230 from Rutland Cycles' ebay store. Cheap like the budgie



You can see where costs have been cut, ie the paint isn't very hard wearing at all and the welding around the cable guides looks liked it was done by a Mr S Wonder.

It came as a single speed, but I'm going to run it 1x9 for now and see how I get on.

All that's left over from when I got the bike is, the frame, the BB, the cranks and chain ring and the headset.

I'm just waiting on a chain guide, brake rotors and some cable outers to come in the post and it should be good to go. Happy days..............





Cheers

blister pus

I like it and like it more 'cause of that bell.

£230 ? seriously? for the entire thing?

I can see me getting one of these as a commuter.

You will have some serious fun on the trails on that fully rigid 29er.

I am addicted to mine!

Where did you get the bell? It will go with my pink Scandal

jay12

cheehee

The bell is from OnOne.........

It's a ladybird though, not a ladybug damn Americanisms :roll:

Yep £230 for the whole bike, bargain

The OE finishing kit it comes with is very low rent as you would expect. I swapped the fork today I think the OE one was made from lead

I sold my old epic frame for £400 and the fork for £160 so I've used that to buy the bike, fork etc and then used whatever stuff I had left over from in epic/ in the shed to build the 29'er.

love it - looks ace, a proper bargain too!!! can't wait to get mine up

bluechair84

damn it... only have them in 20"
I wasn't looking but at that price it's tempting. Like the carbon forks

woodnut

That looks fantastic, I'd be tempted to spray it matt black, make it look "MYSTERIOUS"
I like Rutland cycles... I bought a Mongoose commuter off them recently for cheap and its great for what I use it for

Trendy? who cares? , that's a smasher, keep looking after it eh

FatGuts

Yah Woodnut, I cant kill it. I just changed the crank, chain & cassette for hopefully another 10,000km (was my commuter as well at bush basher).

Cant beat chome moly frames for strength & adding concrete to your ride for you to harden up.

I will post some more pics in my own thread when I get time later.

Cheers. Funny you should say about the matt black, I was thinking about getting it powder coated matt black once it gets a bit more battered.................There's a place near me that powder coated my old roadbike for £15 :shock: Did a good job of it too.

FatGuts I like the Hardrock...........old skool cool 8)

FatGuts

Thanks CheeheeI I forgot to mention I like the look of your Diamond too.

I was out at Stromlo yasterday ( where the worlds were held last Septemeber) & I was getting heaps of looks. I even rode stuff that some people on more expensive bikes were walking down .
