Hi all, here's a few pics of bikes.

1st one my GT Avalanche 1.0

Only change so far is some mavic xm317 rims.

2nd one is a Giant Yukon. Bought it cheap needing some work. Now its all working smoothly I'll be selling it to fund bike 3.

3rd one is my project Gt Aggressor Xc2, pic is how I bought it. Going to build it up and then once I make up my mind on which gt I'm keeping I'll sell the other to get a full sus bike.

So far it has deore shifters, mechs, and cable disc brakes. Also some jalco rims once I get a cassette and some qr's. Then all it needs is cranks, bb, and set up.

    Update: sold the giant and used the money to complete the aggressor.

    So that's now up for sale, unsure of what its worth mind.

    Also got some new tyres for my other GT, some conti mountain kings.

    Well he's just posted one is for sale - then he won't!...though he seems to spend more time selling them than riding them!

    As bikes are usually worth more in bits than complete though, building one up to sell seems the wrong way round!

    I do like to ride but as I have 2 disabled children to care for finding time to ride is hard, I sell the bikes whole as I enjoy building them (good stress reliever) and as long as I make a little on them I can justify spending that on the avalanche.

    Anywhoo next things on my list are:

    Some new forks: toras or recons
    Hope goodies, qr's, head doctor etc.
    Then some carbon goodies like Easton monkey lites.
