Been meaning to post his up for a while now but, here is my first ever build! Pretty much finished apart from changing the brake hoses to white to match the gear cables (although I might not do this, as my LBS has offered my a Charge Duster frame in white, for a real knock down price and considering changing the frame already :oops:).

Quite pleased with how it's turned out and the spec I've got for the money I spent, which was a lot more than originally intended!!

Let me know what you think!

    Bike Looks really nice though, loving the colour scheme of those Cable outers against that vivid frame :)

    :oops: I know, didn't really take any notice when I ordered them online, it's one of those little things I need to get sorted, along with getting the steerer tube cut down to size.

    Great job, but that disc rotor is on backwards.

    Nope, it's not.

    Btw, I thought that the Semi Creme comes in black only.
    But looks great in red too.

    Yes, it is... but okay... I guess, technically, the image could have been "mirror flipped" in photoshop or something. Nope, it would still be backwards.

    I hadn't even noticed about the rotor to be honest, I haven't flipped the image in photoshop or anything like that, so it must be! :oops:

    I've changed the saddle to a white charge spoon, and I've got a couple of changes planned. I'm going to change the brake hoses to white goodridge to match the gear outers, and also changing the grips to white with black lockrings from superstar.

    I'll post some pictures when i've updated it!
