    Schoolboy error on the bolts im afraid! Not only are blue heavier, but they are also proven to be 10% slower than red ones.

    Have you ridden this yet? Its in showroom condition!

    Fantastic bikes, I brought one in the end. Mines still stock except for some Haven bars and juts brought a shorter stem too.

    Just an occasional rider mate. No need to be clipped in.

    Ditched the furious fred's with ridiculously soft side walls for Conti race king protection. Far superior to the schwalbe's. No sidewall flex at all. Went on tubless easy as pie.

    Done away with the pointless indicator windows on the shifters too.

    New year so new upgrades. Decided to go full XTR, why not! With titanium bolts on the shifters. KMC sl gold chain.. POP purple crank bolt for a bit of colour...New seat post too. 2014 one bolt Ritchey carbon superlogic - goes perfectly with the colour of the bike. Fizik tundra 2 saddle. And an air compressor to seat the tyres as the joe blow sport aint up to the task. Next stop formula R1 racing - XTR ice tech rotors and kashima CTD 15mm through...

    That is a lovely bike.
    How are you finding the superlogic bars?
    Have you plopped it on the scales for a weight check?
    Do you not regret having a 29er version?

    Great build
    Constantly trying to upgrade my parts.It is a long road ahead as things are so expensive for little gain. n+1 is always the principle in my mind.
