PHOTOS REMOVED DUE TO THEM BEING USED TO SELL STOLEN BIKES.


Decided to take a photo of it in it's stock configuration as I plan to replace the forks Monday. Having embarrassingly large amounts of fun on this bike.



I'm always impressed by the paint job on this bike - I come from a BMX background so a decent paint job is one coat of Hammerite. Not sure if you can see the sparkles here:



These pedals are probably the best £30 odd quid I've spent in a while. The (lack of) weight really surprised me:



Awesomeeeeee





Got this Saturday morning, stoked on it. Done 2 hour ride Yesterday and a cheeky 1hr today (was a little sore on the bottom ha). So stoked.

Can someone answer me how the bikes "L" sizing converts to inches? It fits me fine, but I can't remember what size I chose in the end - the frame says L - but the website has measurements in inches - useless!

    That looks really nice mate! Just get a tape measure and measure the seat tube. Middle of the bottom bracket to top of the seat tube where the qr collar sits.

    i thought so, though i was going by the gap between the top and down tube, a little bit less than my 21", don't know why they have some models in inches and others M, L etc, first time i've heard of it on a HR though,

    it just seems odd that even tho they have a sticker saying "L" on the bike they have no inches measurement, or on the website where they have the inches measurement they don't have a conversion to alpha sizes. anyway.

    Would indeed help if they put the corresponding s/m/l/xl next to the frame sizes to take away any guess work

    Nice bike by the way, liking the colour :D

    Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail

    I love it! I've swapped out the forks now for RS Recon Silver TK's - I'll try to remember to get the photos up tonight.
