looks great buddy. but you say you want total cost to be £500 or less. i imagine the frame probably cost that much?? unless its second hand?

Thats cheap!

Whats the plan for it 4x or jumping?

felix.london

Town, Bike/Skate Park, BMX/Pump track etc there's a couple of nice hard pack descents I've seen that might be fun too. Gonna have to be fairly smooth stuff cos after the Reba and the Boxxer the MX Comp is gonna feel a litle harsh

Basically, something I can just jump on and have fun without having to be clipped in or be a full-on DH rig!

Should have next post up in few hours...

Nice!

Any reason for what looks like the bashguard version of the ss chain device?

Well spotted! A bit of a mix-up when ordering and as I'm in France in didn't seem worth it to pay to send it back then pay again to have the non-bash sent out. There's also the possibility of hitting some bike parks and DH trails with it and then a bash could be useful
