my New xc race bike !!

brownix

hey guys what do you think of my new bike.
Just cover up the saddle, its only there until i get some money, because i'm in debt right now. also things i'm doing tommorow, is taking the granny ring off and putting a new big ring and keeping the middle ring on the cranks.
And i've also got new tyres in the post. Continental race kings, what do people thinK?

Nice, but if I used bars THAT narrow, I could twiddle me thumbs while I ride!

Nice with the Black/White etc.

Got me a Black/White thing going on VERY, VERY soon.

Frame arrived today.

Grip Shift all the way for racing!

With a proper saddle and some man's gears she'll be reet!

aye they are nice socks. and i'm gonna be testing it out at dalby all week next week , so if i dont like the grip shift. i have got some x.9 trigger shifters at the ready. but i have a feeling that i will like the grip shifters, they are also lighter.

Might just be the angle of the pics, but those brake levers look quite far away from the bars?

Anyways, looking good, a few tweeks and it will be awesome.

noo, the levers are actually the perfect length tbh. perfect for 1 finger braking. i'm impressed how much power the r1's have for only a 160mm rotor.
