Me shiny new Malt 3 arrived today - woohoo!!

Here are a few hasty camera-phone snaps of the new machine; I may be biased but I think it looks bloody lovely in white...

(Yes, I have since fitted some pedals!!)

Spec is thus:
Full SLX 10-speed groupset
SLX M665 brakes (180/160mm)
RockShox Recon Gold RL fork
RaceFace Ride stem & post, Evolve bars
Shimano MT15 wheels
Panaracer Fire XC Pro tyres

Just noticed this is the 2000th thread in this section; do I get some sort of prize?

:D

    Smart looking bike Merlin Malt frames are the dogs danglies. I bought a Malt 3 frame in 2004 its now on its 4th owner and has had the crap beaten out of it for 7 years and is still going strong.

    White looks good but white covered in mud looks even better :D

    Thanks chaps! :)

    That's the downside - it won't look this shiny for long - planning a trip to Dalby next weekend to give the new machine a good test run! Bring on the mud (although if I scratch/dent/crash it I'll be most upset!) :D
