Well here we have my kraken! I really want a better bike so should stop spending money on this but cant help myself...

Saying that the bike is very good for the price.

Upgrades/changes
Superstar bars
Sperstar grips
Superstar headset spacers
Charge spoon
Superstar seatpost
Superstar pedals
Mucky nutz mudguard(may change back to black)
Continental racekings
And a cateye strada computer is on its way!
What next?? Had an orange chainstay guard but was wrong size so may get another

    Looks good, but sort the saddle angle out and swap the front and rear tyres round.

    Needs orange hubs next!

    Saddle angle is sorted now sitting perfect for me!

    Why should i change the tyres round? There both the same?

    Thought about orange wheels but not sure i want to spend 200+ on this bike

    Oh are they? Sorry thought you had a mountain king on the rear.

    And I think you're right. Plus any more colour and it will definitely be over kill then

    Looks good, I'm liking orange anodising lately. I'd have the bender fender in black though.

    Yeah Pnev both race kings mate i may fire mountain king on front when it gets a bit muddy again!

    I just chose the orange due to small orange decals already on it but i love it now.

    Now stuck in a choice between building a hardtail maybe on one 456 or going FS with a boardman or something
