Christ, what did you hit?!

No luckily the only thing damaged was the rim. I think it's the angle of the picture thats funny.
And I didn't really hit anything. Just went down a wrong route onto a down downhillers track whilst beeing egged on by a gopro hd behind me. So I ended up hitting a jump at some speed that I wasn't prepared for and went up instead of forward. That's all I remember really. Was just looking up tangled in my bike about 15mtrs from where I think I landed.

Good times

haha yeah i guess it should, but on monday i will be getting the wheel back,i can't wait.

Most people on here hate the saddle, i don't get it really they look really good.
I got my saddle on ebay, they also do it in a solid leather in black and brown and i think maybe white as well but the best one is mine because it is awesome.
as for comfort i can't say i have ridden a bike as comfortable as this one before so I'm going to say it amazing, is a bit tricky to attach to a Hope Eternity seat post

allthegearnoidea

i dont have a hope post so thats a Plus hahahha! have been searching and found a few, will add them to the watching and spare cash fund!! :-D

Such a nice build! Must be one of the nicest hardtails on here.

Great build thread and I love the colour! I bet your life flashed before your eyes, hope it turns out not to be too expensive.
