Rockrider 6.3

As my Saracen Mantra frame was way too small for me (17"), I decided to get a new frame, and fancied trying a full-suss. This popped up on eBay for a good price and I've now upgraded basically everything on it! I don't like the pedal bob from the rear shock but I'm grateful of it on the descents! Trying to keep it XC-orientated but the weight is hard to keep down with this frame and my budget! Hope you like it

Thanks! Great shop but not really local (they're about 20 miles away)

It's a rear light, not a reflector
I agree that I made a right mess of the cable routing so I'll try better when I get some more cables. I'm looking at a new shock but they're still a bit expensive at the moment so that'll have to wait

not sure if length or stroke matches, but cheap
That looks really good for the money! £13 delivery and probably a load of customs charges too though (not to mention the fact that it will probably be destroyed because it's 'dangerous'). Thanks for the link though - I'll try to hunt one of these down in the UK

Will do. It'll be a while before I get one though

Yeah, I go riding with his son quite a bit but Steve's always busy with the shop so don't really get to see him much. I'm near Invergordon so not very close either

I've been to Golspie many times - I normally get the train up and just go up and down all day
Currently my favorite place to ride is Strathpeffer - there are so many great trails around there, like the Puffer, the Contin XC course and the trails in Blackmuir forest

They're not marked but the shop normally have a few trail maps you can buy (they're £3 I think)

It's worth it - lots of great trails all around there!

Never been there but I've heard they're good! We've got a pretty decent workshop so don't really need to rent anything. Went for a great ride around Strathpeffer today

I've never actually been to Carbisdale - I keep meaning to but never got round to it! Balblair is amazing - better than Golspie IMO.

Do you mean the bit where you can go left to skip the black or right to do it? I haven't done that bit - I just do the black. I must go up to Carbisdale; maybe next week!

Oh yeah, I think I took the shorter route (it takes you down a grass trail doesn't it?).
Yup, walkers can be idiots at times. You can walk anywhere so why walk on a mtb trail?

Yeah, I remember there are some really nice switchbacks on the other side of the hill that were really fun.
I'll probably go up to Carbisdale sometime this week to try it out - thanks for reminding me it's there!

Hi there,
This bike is still going but in a different config for my dad now! The shock shown is the original but I upgraded it to a Rockshox Monarch R which improved it quite a bit. I'm sure the shock was 165x38mm. Have fun with it
