very nice

nice colour, all you need now are new grips and a fender censored

compo

Aye, grips are needed, those ones nearly slipped off when riding last night.

Fender censored ? Man Up and have a shower

there great for keeping censored from flying in your face, saying that though,i forgot you'll only have those skinny 2.2's on there instead of the 2.4's that come on its bigger brother

Looking good, great spec for the money!

Never noticed it before but that top tube looks fooking dangerous....

Lovely. I ordered a Nerve Am 7.0 on Friday. How did you find putting it together, was everything already set up OK (other than the suspension, I suppose).

compo

Yeah everything was set up perfectly. Could have set it up in ten minutes, but took my time.
The only thing to specifically set up are the fork and shock, but obviously that's done by rider preference anyway

How?

You should put a protective patch under the brake hose that runs past the fork crown. Mine rubbed away the paintwork in that exact same position.

+1!

compo

Done that before I even set out up the drive

However, elsewhere I think Canyon have done an excellent job in the frame protection department

Plyphon

that looks so dope

compo

Recently added some Superstar grips. they wear easily but I think its worth it for the price.

Also, popped on a Reverb on tonight. Pictures (hopefully including snow) will follow tommorrow

Nice bike there.

Thinking of getting the 8 myself so interested in how you get on with it.
How's the sizing?

Tintin rize

Very nice mate !

compo

Sorry, for the lack of pictures, want to do it in daylight so am waiting...

Re sizing, I used the guide on the website and it was correct. I'm a medium and am 5'9/10"ish

Rides perfect after 6 months, not had to do much to it except bleed the brakes. They are Avid however..... I think they're the next upgrade

I put xt brakes on my am 6. They are a different class compared to the elixirs
