Right then its time to tell you all about my project bike thats nearly ready to build.

99 FSR frame slightly modded
FSA Orbit extreme pro h/s with 40mm spacers
Specialized E150SL forks
Fox float rear shock
BETD rear linkage to raise the back end
XTR shadow rear carbon mech
XTR front mech
Avid juicy 5s f203mm r185mm
DT Swiss wheelset with 25mm front maxle
Specialized seatpost and bars
Prologo Nano gel saddle
9 speed HG cassette
Truvativ Ruction chainset
Shimano 9 sp chain
Deore LX dual control shifters but unsure whether to use them

I am still thinking about tyre choice, the frame once painted will be white with red and black stripe along the toptube with silver Specialized decals.......what do you think guys
heres how it looks now

Sounds like it's gonna be fun, welcome to BR.

Hopefully Paul, just need to remove the BB thats in at the mo so the frame can be painted and baked but I dont have the tool to remove it and dont fancy buying one for a one off job, you may have noticed the rear isnt in the pic thats because its away having the canti brackets removed as I now have the A3Z adapter for the rear caliper but really would like it fabricating on rather than setting the brake up everytime the wheel is removed but cant seem to find a decent ally welder to do it

Looks like its going to be a good build mate!

Post up a W.I.P (Work In Progress) thread in the 'Your Mountain Bikes' section, i'm sure plenty of people will comment on it then
