dont worry about filling up my thread im usually editing my posts from time to time . got the frame off ebay after a bit of mess up on bidding on a blue older ns surge frame. had been checking out a lot of ns surge builds.

Not so much a work in progress as "a frame", huh?

No, he has a seatclamp too, plus a box full of dreams....

bobpzero

Oooh, I do like Surge frames!

Looking forward to seeing how you progress with this

Check my NS in my sig below, it's a DJ bike but still very nice.

bobpzero

thanks, yep your dj bike will be definitely more colour ordinated than mine
bit of inspiration from these guys ns hardtails team

bobpzero

bodging on the crown race with a hammer and a rubber handle managed to get it fitted nicely and stem on too without snapping the bolt and nothing loose which amazed me

bobpzero

complete, just waiting for a formula 160mm rotor for the rear wheel.

That looks really nice, being a guy with 29" inside leg, that low top tube looks a very tempting proposition

What kind of riding are you planning on doing on it?

ilovedirt

Very tasty, just my kind of bike! Are those formula the ones?
