i'm interested in how this is going to turn out

Getting all the orange can't have been a cheap venture CWNT. Though I can see this looking good indeed.

jairaj

those cranks look beautiful. I wish I could justify the cost for them, very jealous

joshtp

The 456 was stunning, if the combo works, this will be bike of the year.

erm, wip threads can not be started without a frame.

that is all.

cat_with_no_tail

I've got a frame, it's just not arrived at my house yet :P

Those Cranks and hard on material, i'd boot the missus out of bed for 5 mins of intimate touching wit them

cat_with_no_tail

Other items have arrived this morning. Can I just say that I think these grips are fookin awesome looking!

The joplin remote kit can wait until CRC get them back in stock in a few weeks time.

Should arrive tomorrow

joshtp

thos grips are crap myslef awsome!

Loving it!

Tolk

Nice, love that blue colour of the grips, is it just the blue, or dark blue option? Thinking of replacing my esi's with that blue and white lock rings.

I reckon the blue and orange will work out alright mate!

cat_with_no_tail

They are just regular blue.

Going to wait until the frame is all built up and see if I maybe need the darker blue.

Frame should arrive tomorrow, got to send it for headset fitting then hopefully build it up on Fri night.

Tolk

Cheers mate.

There's nothing worse than waiting for bike bits to turn up, i always just want to get it built up and ride the thing!

cat_with_no_tail

I'll wait to see how those grips look once fitted. It might turn out than you can have them (the grips, not the lockrings) for free if I have to replace them with some darker blue ones.

Tolk

Cool, or i could pay for the dark blue ones, that'd be fairer!

Mynameisdann

If i get my norco im defo getting those grips )

-liam-

I'm hoping to get mine ordered by the weekend. Mine will be blue and red though making use of some of the bits off my duster...I suppose I do have a spare set of blue superstar grip cartridges if it all completely vomit inducing.

Let us know what you think of the quality of the thing eh?...Welds/paint etc etc.

joshtp

Hey bud, let me know when you get it... i want to PM you a few Q's about it...

YAY!!!!!







Now, down to the LBS to get the headset fitted.

One thing though. On the ragley site, it states that all their frames come with QR seatclamps, yet this one did not come with anything. I'm not complaining for the price, but still, the only reasopn I'd not bought one already was because I thought one was being supplied, now I have to go buy one from the LBS.

joshtp

Awsome! quick Q though, is the BB and headtube faced? if i do get one it will be on a super tight budget and all those extra £15 - £20 add up.

i need to be able to plug everything streight in without pating for expensive tools or lbs charges...!

cat_with_no_tail

Yep, everything is ready to go. I had to go down the LBS to fit the HS because I've not got my own press. But they let me use their press and do it for free.

One point though. The outside diameter of the headtube is slightly wider than the superstar headset (only a fraction of a MM) so you have some alu exposed when it's fitted. It's not a big deal, I'll try and get some pics in a bit to show what I mean.

bwfc4eva868

Thats stunning, i so want one now God damn you NHS for not paying me enough

joshtp

Man this is just soooo crap, its soooo stunning, and sooo just exactly what i want but i have no way of geting £150, and def not in time before end of sale/out of stock, i really want one, and its such a killer deal, but im trapped! aaaaargh! someone want to lend (read "give") me £150?!?!?!? Please!
alternatively can someone buy one then decide they dont need it and give it to me!


Blue 18inch please!
