Bought the duster about a month ago. Got the frame and fork for £50 and thought it'd be a cheap build. Ended up spending a little more than expected. Great fun to ride though.

Bought the Remedy in July 2010 new from Wheelbase in stavely. Not much of the original finishing kit is still present.

    Thank you. Unfortunately I had no power in my old garage, and the Daytona's battery is tiny, so if not ridden for a couple of days with thd alarm and the cold the battery would die. Every other week I was pushing her into work to charge the battery. Can't wait for summer :)

    Well today I decided to take bits off of the Remedy and fit the to the Duster. Reason being I'n wanting to attempt improving my fitness and basic skills as I've not been riding for a while due to work commitments. So the spec is as follows.
    Charge Duster frame and fork size small.
    Bontrager RL bars
    Bontrager Rythm saddle
    Avid elixir R brakes
    Deore 9 speed shifter
    XT shadow rear mech
    Ethirteen 32t blue front ring
    Deore crank
    Ethirteen chain device
    Hope stem
    Hope QR skewers and seat post clamp
    BBB seat post
    Peaty lock on grips with Hope end caps
    Stans flow ZTR rims with Hope pro 2 hubs.
    DMR vault pedals.
    Maxxis minion DH tyres.

    Rides really well, and just in case anyone wondered, I've fitted the fat tyres to cut down on the vibrations through the handlebars. Was running ignitor up front and ardent in the rear.
    Will give her a clean tomorrow and get some pictures up.

    I've built up a Cove Stiffee and bought an Ex Hope Orange 5.
    Daytona has also been replaced, by a Street Triple R.
    All change.

    Thanks. It looked even nicer with the Hope X2's with blue floating rotors.
