What sort of gear is that to take a photo in?! Big ring and 11t for me, although middle of the block is also acceptable.

Looks good otherwise, although the headset spacers are just too much for me.

I want to steal your green bits!

Andy!

green bits are great. Bike looks really nice.

damn, maybe I should go green bits on the carbon 456....hmm

jaysonski

that looks very nice.

Like the white and green. And a very good spec.

jaysonski

thank you! but i must confess, the bike already had the rear mech in green, the forks & the brakeset were also the special edition green, i just carried on what the bike came with

jmillen

Very nice indeed

Wishing I kept mine now

Lovely bike, very nearly bought one myself. This would still be my ultimate choice of HT if i'd opted for one over FS.

How many were released, does anyone know?

jaysonski

i think there were 500 limited released, this is number 248

Really nice detailing there.

Good work !

jaysonski

thanks!

Is it just me or do the gear cables on the downtube look crossed over? :?

Valy

Looks good I though, but then I saw where the chain was.

WTF MAAAN? That dérailleur looks rather uncomfortable to me. :shock:

jaysonski

i know! i was cleaning the bottom of the block & took the pics before i dropped it back! oops!

Remarkable! My non-Ltd Pro has got heavier since I bought it as it's tending to lead a harder hitting less XC lifestyle (which I certainly didn't expect back then!)

jaysonski

you're a brave man then! im thinking of chucking a thudbuster at it to help with the ch-ch-ch-chatter!
