Or rather a very clean one at the moment!

A great DJ frame in a beautiful Pearlescent Orange finish.











Still planning the build at this stage. I'm thinking of going 9spd.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Freeride Lite? Extreme XC? Hardcore Meander? Bimblecore? Come on man, give it a marketing label!

(bimblecore - shamelessly plageurised from STW )

Tasty - 2009 in blue or purple is 250 notes at CRC at the moment.......temptation.

oh bollocks! does this mean I have to build a Cove Sanchez next too??? :shock:

stunning frame. you do know you're going to have to buy X0 to keep the colours matching!

MacAndCheese

Been looking at DJ frames recently at that has to be one of the nicest, colour is awesome and I really like the polished headset against the orange.

shames it's out of my price range

neninja

That looks lovely - great colour

Hi all
Thanks for all your kind comments on the new frame (new to me, got it 2nd hand on fleabay).

As far as components go I have chosen tried and tested stuff that I know works well for me. I would have liked to have anodized bits clashing with the orange frame colour such as blue or red. Unfortunately, to keep the cost down, I've had to use spare bits and parts from my hack bike.

yoohoo, I'm surprised you haven't got the frame already, and you've placed wicked ideas in my head. As a result, a few tango X0 bits have been ordered!

Here are the bits I already have;
Wheels - Halo Freedom Disc



Forks - Rockshox Pike 20mm bolt thru





Truvativ stem and bars with DMR V12 pedals





I'll post more piccies when these are fitted and more parts when I get 'em.
Cheers

i guess your going for a white and orange build then

Yeah! Not much choice seeing I have to use the bits I already have.

I would have loved to have gone for a blue and orange build with hope hubs and blue Spank Tweet Tweet rims, bars, stem etc.

Here's a taster of Orange and White;

X0 Cassette


Wheels with Maxxis Advantage 2.4s fitted


And now the rear wheel (with cassette fitted) placed into the frame.

Very tasty!

Parts that were photographed and posted on the weekend, now fitted.

paul.skibum

That is proper tasty - I want one or I want to get my Handjob painted that colour.

did the bars and forks come off your pitch?
I think you will have a very fine collection of bikes when you have finished this build

Bill-87

Loving it, especially that Orange!

That minimalist seat looks a bit painful!

hbrashaw

^yeah, the grips are a bit thin too, and the brakes don't look like they have much power

Zaskar20

Thanks again for all your comments. Some more building happening soon and I'll get pics posted when done.

Yeah, all off the Pitch (the hack bike), even the Halo Freedoms, which I've had on hack for a while now.

Not sure if the Pikes are up to the job, but they'll have to do for now. Wound the travel down to 120mm.

Been doing a spot of building this evening.

Not long now before it will be finished. :P

jay12

OMG!!! thats is so nice 8)

Zaskar20

Finished the build at eleven this evening. Just gotta index the gears and test ride tomorrow.

I'll take pictures of the complete bike in daylight, but I've taken close ups of some of the components tonight.

jay12

wow. this is another bike in contention for the bike of the year. nice work. everything is so nice when it's matching. i like this one a lot 8)

Torres

That looks very cool, nice work. 8)
Where did you get the orange hope stuff? Or did it get sent to an anodiser?

max丨mo

Looks great, just like your other bikes, so what will you be using this bike for? DJ?

What's your next project?

PURE CLASS!

The Big Cheese

Very very nice - loving it!!!! 8)

Makes me laugh though - I thought this was supposed to be a little 'project' involving old bits and pieces, and yet again you've turned it into another superbike

baba123

forget using andoized parts when you have money this looks good as it is
