taken a little over 6 months to get this far, set me back around £600 if my maths is correct, seems a little too much but the bling wasnt too cheap... just need forks and a name! (name suggestions welcome :) )

    can get straitline from Crc but they range from like 35-55 pounds or so.

    4x is what i had in mind :D

    rides nice, just getting used to the new tyres. ill be taking it to redhill once the forks are sorted :)

    brake levers from CRC, never intended on buying them but the blue ones got reduced by a tenner so i couldnt resist, they are so much nicer than avid levers, very comfortable and dont flex if you have to really pull hard so you get more power
