My Bikes

Thought I would start a new thread, seen as I now have an extra bike and wanted to do a full spec list of my other bike. Enjoy. (I apologise for the overgrown garden, we don't have much time to look after it!)

Orange Prestige '08:

When I first got the bike, it looked like this:



Now this is what it looks like now:







RED= Parts upgraded by me.
BLUE= Parts upgraded by first owner from stock bike.

Bars: FSA k-force Carbon flats
Stem: Kore Race 6061 90mm 6 degree rise

Grips: Lizard Skin Charger Lock On
Brakes: Avid Juicy 3's (160mm front and back)

Shifters: Shimano Deore R Fire +
Front Mech: Shimano Deore
Rear Mech: Shimano LX

Seat: Charge Spoon

And the new addition to the stable, 24seven Slacker SS. Needed a bike to mess around on now and again, got this of pinkbike for the absolute bargain price of £170!







Don't have a full spec list for it at the moment, however since new I know headset, front wheel, forks, pedals and seat have been upgraded from standard.

And one more pics of the bikes together, just because I wanted to see what they look like next to each other.

Yeah, shame the forks on the 24seven aren't white, and the all the decals on the frame where orange, then they would truly be matching

I bought it 2nd hand off someone on here, then just upgraded parts as I have wanted to. The guy had changed a few things before I bought it off him though, mainly headset and tyres. Since then I have put on new bars, stem, grips, forks, saddle, pedals and bottle cage.

Thanks for the kind comments as well! Many more upgrades planned once more money is available, so hopefully will look even nicer soon.

Done especially for Laurence25

Love the Prestige, looks really well thought out. I quite fancy the bars & stem for my bike.
Your gardens fine by the way, the natural look is so "in" this year.

Thanks! Only problem with the bars is they are rather narrow, but you get used to it after a while. And the stem only has one pinch bolt on the steerer tube, so when I have crashed it seems to move easily, but doesn't cause any problem when riding generally.

And as for the garden, if that's the "in" thing, then it will be staying like that forever!

Lovely bike, haven't had much of a chance to ride it properly yet though, takes a bit of getting used to as its the first 24inch jump bike I have rode. An absolute steal at £170 as well, quite a lot better than the standard model as well.

The new slackers are gorgeous though, love the paint job on them.

New pedals arrived today, Shimano M520 in white:
