Another lovely soul. I particularly like the last picture where the heel rub on the crank arm makes the logo look a bit like it says "SH1T"2011 Genesis Latitude

nice spec there matey!
i tried mine at a few different fork heights, old Sids on 80mm! bombers on 100 and 120mm, and the current manitou's on 130, have to honestly say, on 100mm was amazing, but add the extra 20-30mm and the bike feels So much more Alive! i really couldnt believe the difference! but! the downside is that its a bit wondery uphill!!! suits me though as i really dont enjoy riding upwards ahhaha!Timmo.

'Allthegear' thats why I put Talas forks on mine!0

Mine have manitou's 'IT' infinite travel set up but rarely touch it as makes you feel like your trying to ride into the ground coming down from 130 - 80 lol!Timmo.

I do like Souls, 25lbs is a good weight given the forks too! My Kula is just shy of 24lbs with Reba dual air and SS too!
How heavy are the Soul frames?0 -
think they about 4lbs for the small(16 inch)0
-
As far as I remember, they are 4 1/2lb for the M frame, which for a steel frame is pretty goood! Iirc the 456 is closer to 6 1/2lb!Timmo.

My large Soul frame tipped the scales at 4lbs 11oz. Not weighed the full bike yet, but it doesn't feel heavy!MTB's, SC Blur LTc & Cotic Soul (26" definitely aint dead!).

Looks lovely that, I can't belive how light it is, I never thought mine was that light but it must be!0

never really cared about the weight of any of my bikes to be honest. just as long as i'm happy with the way they look and ride 0 -

Nice attention to detail but more importantly, you have the valve caps lined up with the tyre decals! 0

a little bit more bling.
not as orange as the other orange bits, but i thought if i'm going to stop the cables from fraying i might as well make them look half tidy 0 -
You've not seen the KCNC coloured Inner cables then! ;-)Timmo.

They look good but I meant the end crimps, next time the cables need replacing I intend on using the transfil mud lovers stuff! Clee are good though, I've bought a couple of bits from them in the past.0
