Very smart! Now it's time to get it filthy!

Marin_B17

nice one! I got the same but with Pikes, was thinking of getting Recon's though, nice to see a bike set up like mine!

That's a very nice/sense-able first build!

The problem is you'll never want an off the shelf bike again!

I'm glad to see they have now ditched the V brake bosses.

Kinesis frames always look great! Home builds are way better imo, enjoy it

Thanks guys

I had quite alot of fun buliding it up and i dont ever think i will purchase a off the shelf bike again.

Ian43 the rotors are Hayes Mudcutters and they are in stock at CRC for £25 each.

nice looking bike. Curious angle on the bars though?

Ian43

Thanks will have a look.

Aye, you've got the bars 'sweep' facing the up position rather than back.

yep welcome again. i did the upsweep thing with my 1st short straight slight sweep back bars then found 31.8mm low riser alloy bars were better.
