Finally managed to ride my new push iron after having nearly 2 weeks off due to a dislocated elbow, and it's been killing me with it being sat in the shed, it rides far better than I could have imagined and all for a bargain basement £450.

Kinesis Decade Virtue 18" Japanese Tange Prestige Chromoly
Marzocchi 44 TST2 Air with 120mm Travel upgradeable to 140mm
Easton EA50 Risers
FSA 90mm 6 Degree Stem
Lizardskins Peaty Lock Ons
Hope Mono Mini's with 185mm Rotors Front & Rear
Shimano LX Shifters
Shimano XTR Front & Rear Derailleurs
WTB Rims on Shimano Hubs
Thomson Elite Seat Post
Fizik Life Aliante Saddle
RaceFace XC Crank with FSA Chainrings
DMR V12 Pedals
Hope Finishing Kit Seatpost Clamp, Skewers, Headset Spacers in Red
, plus a few other bits.

I'm not really into bling but it's all tastefully done

Weight? who cares it's got Skulls on the down tube and seat tube and that's cool as f**k.

Enjoy

    Very nice skulls on the frame make you go faster and thats a fact.

    The only time weight makes any difference is when your lifting the bike over a gate or onto a roof rack. As long as it doesnt weigh more than you can lift its light enough.

  • When the headset goes it might be worth changing it to a red one. Just a thought...
