    Hi, bought one of these myself, early September.
    How you getting on with it, it's a glorious looking bike in the flesh, great colour scheme.
    with xmas coming soon, looking to bling it up a bit, already put blue chain ring bolts on, looking to upgrade, skewers, seat clamp, inner tube caps, usual type of thing.
    as for the mechanics, maybe a giant dropper post, think that's all it needs really.
    have swapped the crossmarks over to some Maxxis Advantage as the crossmarks started to slip a bit in the current conditions.
    great bike.

    I wanted one before the 2011 was out of stock, colour scheme is the best I have seen for my taste.

    Should be ready for the real thing in January. :D
    Boring mods for me - mudguards, bottle cage and a must have, bar ends. :roll:

    I use photobucket.
    Hover over photo and click on the bottom link on drop down menu.
    It copies by itself and then you just paste in this box.

    That looks great... even better than mine, and I'm biased.
