Nice, don't fancy your chances of getting a stem to fit that steerer tube tho' :roll:0

I dont get it :?
You sell 1 lightweight, short travel XC race bike, and replace it with.... a lightweight, short travel XC race bike that is not as nice to look at.
Have you had a bump on the head or something?0 -
it's probably so it matches the wallpaper better?
I mean, its only going to be another ornament 0 -
lol.... no I always wanted one of these, but at 2500 for the frame and forks alone I couldnt afford it. I had a room full of bikes, sold them all and kept the wheels/running kit off the Marin and shall swap over to the above.
CWNT: I see what you're saying, but if you knew what a hardon I have had for S-works carbon hardtails since they came out, you would understand.
Dont get me wrong, I still made some monies from selling all the other bits as well. 8)0 -
Furry muff I guess.
Got to be honest, not a fan of those S-Works frames. MUCH preferred the Marin.
So long as you're happy with it though, guess it's all peachy.0 -

could you not just buy the frame cheaper and put better forks on?

Is it intentionally shaped to look like a dog taking a dump? 0

You sold a beautiful, one off, perfect, Marin, and bought THAT?
:roll:
if it makes you happy....I like bikes and stuff0 -
I'm jealous, i've always had a tickling in my special though when thinking of or seeing the S works bikes.
Lucky man!0 -
You know I can make a bike into something that rides, and looks gorgeous.... 8)
It's gonna be PERFECT.....
pound for pound, one of the best carbon hardtails out there, if not, THE best... IMHO anyway, yes, the Marin was gorgeous, and I originally intended to sell ALL my bikes and just keep the roadie for now, then this came along and ...... well, you know how it is, my riding is limited these days, one bike is all I need.
Anyway, it's a bike I've always wanted, and soon it will be mine ...
Surely that's what it's all about? 8)0 -

ANDY = fark off
Sheeps, it's flat as fark around here, nothing too heavy, just some nice singletrack, woodland and lots of flat bits, anything else is overkill. Plus I am a tart.
When it's built up, Ill have to come down to see you/go for a ride, you're only half hour away from me 0 -
