After the slaughtering I got the other day for buying the devils bike, I thought I would share a couple of pics of my new steed. I will be taking it to my local woods the weekend for a first ride. I just hope to god I can clear it without having to get off and push :roll: Will let you know how I get on....

Nice still prefer the bronze colour but very niceFig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0

much nicer, really don't like the bronze in the flesh.
Let us know how it goes? Bet it's an absolute corker though!
In my experience they're a lot of fun with a bit of a shorter stem.0 -

I used to run quite a long stem on my SS because I always cracked my knee on the light bracket when standing up and honking up a hill with the 60mm one I built it up withFig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0 -

As much as I want to hate it for being an SS, I really like that, a cracking looking bike. Those ridgid forks look brilliant remind of Kona project 2s.Santa Cruz Chameleon

Cracking bike mate, was tempted to get one myself, someone was selling a virtually brand new one on here a couple months back for about £250 - soooooo wish I had bought it for general duties...
Anyway, she looks nice. I have never understood the hatred for SSers, they have a purpose in my eyes, as long as you get that magic ratio......0 -

(although i'm still not sure about rigid forks)

Wow, that's more like it, thanks guys
Now you can see why I was so tempted in the first place, I kept seeing it there every time I went in to have a mooch around, so just had to have it in the end. It was £420 which is a good saving off the 09 £599 price tag. Mine does have cheaper brakes and the wheels are different too...heavier I think, as the whole bikes weighs 27 lbs where as the 09 is only 27.5 lbs.
I have already changed the bar and stem, as they were over sized. I have got a 2" rise with a 90mm stem40 year old pussy who "still" hates the thought of falling off!!0 -
