This is pretty quick for a full suss, bur if you loose your concentration for a second it will spit you off, but it's a great bike and puts a smile on your face. Made a few changes, firstly, the handlebars, saddle, then the shifters, front and rear mech, and tyres (always a headache, with any bike)DSC_0500.jpgDSC_0499.jpgDSC_0488.jpgDSC_0502.jpgDSC_0504.jpgDSC_0510.jpg

    Looks good. Surprised you find you have to concentrate, I find mine a great trail bike, more forgiving than other race bikes I've ridden!

    Very Nice, Some good upgrades there! Should make it more trail friendly.

    Since putting longer bars and a slightly shorter stem, it is a lot more like a light weight trail bike, which is what i was after.

    Not usually, but I tend to with these XT brakes.

    very nice mate. ive a top fuel 8 specced out very similar.
    proper rapid aren't they!

    i love nine and find it quite capable as a trail bike until the going gets rough, a bit of careful piloting normally gets it through mind!

    atb,
