Very nice ride you have there, very light frame & quality kit - stands out on this site!

What a charming thing to say :roll:

T'is a nice bike though. Good spec, and a lovely finish on the paint too, great colour. You'd never guess it was a 7yr old frame.

Like the frame and tyres.

RideOnTime

Nice bike. Like the tube caps...

I have just fitted these new Center Lock Rotor Lockrings from Agogo.

A couple of new upgrades:

XTR M975 Brake Levers
XTR M970 Shifters
KCNC Taper Roller BB
KCNC X7 Pads
Token Double Lock On Grips
Just waiting for some new hoses to connect up the brakes

The tubing is pretty narrow, I though for a second it was the 853!

minley1

No, it's the Ally one, put it next to the 853 and it looks very chunky!

supersonic

Lol, I think it was the first pic, the stays catch you first. Both cracking frames though, I have the 853:

A great frame as far as I'm concerned, both Steel and Ally, Merlin are practically giving them away now, but only a few sizes left.
Quite fancy a Ti one next!

supersonic

Cheers mate!

Lesz42: are amazing frames for the money, so light (both of them - the 853 is the lightest steel frame available at 4.25lbs, the Tig SL is a full pound lighter than that!)

Correction... I now have this 853 hehe.

Tig SL looks great, nearly bought some panaracer fire tyres, but went with classy skinwalls!

The Panracers were good, had two sets of them, just got it into my head that I needed some lighter ones to compensate for my poor riding skills!
