I decided to look around the summer sales and found this little beauty going at 50% off for the factory kit (frame forks seatpost stem and bars).
Just waiting for brakes and a R/D to arrive then its out for a test.
Allways a good feeling when the frame and fork is lighter than the cardboard box it came in!!!
Haven't fitted the 560mm EC90 flat bars and 100mm stem that came in the box, and have fitted instead my old fave, a crank bros 700mm iodine bar and 70mm raceface turbine stem, cowboy up!

Green and Black is always a winner, it's what I planned to do on my 4x but I never got it powder coated in the end.0
