    Yeah I used some carbon jockey wheels (not from them) a few years back. They were ok, the Mt Zoom ones last far better and aren't any heavier.

    Lovely bike mate, loving the banter on this thread too. Thinking about getting a bike again as I've been out the loop for a good few years. Really like the look of these epics.

    Black cables will look better. Red cables will be too much. IMO.

    I wouldn't change a thing after this pic.

    I agree the red may be a step too far. I have to say it looks really nice now though.

    Bike is turning out well, I don't think the red cables and outers are too much. Can never have too much red!
