I sold my last bike last year when I found out I was going to be living in Poland for 9 months this year. But it turns out I cant live without buying shiny things, so have been ordering bits and pieces, being sent to my UK address and opened by my brother and he then sends me pics :D (Cheers Stav83)

Its getting closer and should be finished in the next couple of months, then I can ship it Poland and get back to some decent riding. As I am now staying out here (the women are too hot and the beer is too cheap to return home, plus the riding actually seems pretty good)

Going for a lightweight and blingy build and will probably change more and more as I go, but what I have so far is below :lol: (Still waiting for the brakes to turn up)

    He took it over the Surrey Hills yesterday evening, and had a huge grin on his face! It's light.. not sure how light, I'm comparing it to my Enduro!!

    Anyway, I'll let Cabbij put final specs/better pics on at some point, but I like it muchly :)

    Haha, nice and green too.. the XTR shifter set didnt come with enough cable for f&r, so we improvised. It's not actually as chunky as the pic makes it look either.. he has plans on changing some bits over, this is a first generation build.. it'll change over time! :)

    Just so I'm not totally trolling... for your info roadtart, pace forks have the arch at the back, like DT swiss and manitou. Not to be compared with halfords 99p supermix bikes :)

    ** disclaimer - I have nothing against haribo supermix, but they're just not tangfastics..
