Yes in know that the steerer needs cutting and that the rear brake hose is too long, they are on the list, but couldn't wait to get out and have a play on it.

Cheers Chaps

  • Looking very nice there! Crazy about the amount of spacers above the stem though! Surprised to see someone did that!

    Cheers bud.
    Yeah I know what you mean about the spacers - but have just swapped the forks from my old frame and thinking of selling them, so a bit reluctant to start chopping the steerer down!

    Looking lovely mate, really like what you've done with the frame! 24lbs is easily done on that bike ;)

    The Enduro is in the shop at the moment, having a brake bleed and other bits that I couldn't be ars'd to do! Pics will be up soon buddy :)

    On a side note, if I had known you were after bars, I would have shown you the shed.. lol, got a spare set of Answer Carbon bars, and some Easton EA70 monkeys just sitting there collecting spider webs and dust! Feel free to pop round with a couple of quid if you want mate, unless you've already bought some!

    Also got a few stems as well, but they may be too long.. PM/Text me if you're interested :)
