here is my first decent ish MTB after swapping it with my Dawes 1.4.

It's mainly stock apart from avid elixir brakes 203mm front 185 rear and some better grips.

    Nice, that old i-drive is a decent enough bike.
    Bet you can't wait to have that new one built up though?! Looks like it's going to be a nice build.

    That I-drive looks sweet, you'll need a low stack headset though!

    yeh really looking forward to getting the new gt up and running and spending some time setting it up.

    the bombers are 140mm and the front hub is a 20mm axle which is a bonus.
    I'm tempted to paint the frame up but not 100% sure now.
    its a fox rear shock (not sure on type) but its better than my old one!
    once its all together i'm taking it to rutland cycles for some new trick bits as the guys there always help me out then it's off to canock chase to try the monkey run which i've heard so much about from my mates.

    Surely the writing on the shock stating what make it is would give that away...

    ah you say that but I haven't actually seen the bike in the flesh yet as im up north on exercise for the next 3 weeks.

    when i get back the bike will be getting built up using parts from my red GT and some new purchases.
