You have to get rid of those reflectors though! [:)]

Hey, nice bike, Leon. Just like uncle Streakos, except I paid œ1425 for it back in November.

The saddle is actually pretty comfy. I have recently fitted a Bel-air, but I reckon the Bonty is more suited to my a55.

Hi Streako, nice pic!

I have since read that the front forks suffer from excess flexure, would you say this comment is accurate?

I wont get out on mine until this weekend..

Leon

penfoldukwmb · June 2007

nice bike, if I want one of them for my 30th I better start trying to convince the missus now (just before my 28th) lol

I believe there's some saddle review's in this month whatmtb

Trek 6000 Disc - X9 Shifters and rear derailleur - Trvativ Firex Team 3.3 crank - what to buy next, mavic crossride wheelset or new forks!!

Cool, i'll be checking that out, my a$$ is bruistastic, since spending just 1hr on it on tuesday. Ive been out of the hobby for quite a while so maybe need to toughen my ass back up again :P

L60N · June 2007

Sweet Reign Dunk [8D]

I rather like those forks, wanna do a swap :PpPp

streako · June 2007

Hi Leon. I would say the forks are a bit flexy, but unless you are doing hardcore stuff it wont really be a problem.
The first change you will want to make is to fit decent grips, preferably lock-ons. The Bontrager ones are crap.

The standard tyres are fine for summer, but I have fitted beefier 2.3" ones for rocky trails.

You may also find that the paint scratches easily. Dont worry about it too much, just enjoy the ride.
