    That would look so much better without the banana bars and mudguards.

    I don’t mind the mud down the legs n in the face but am a bit of a wuss during the winter months with cold wet sludge up my back and crotch lol.
    They’ll be off as soon as it warms up a bit more.

    The bars don’t suit the bike I know…but they were a “steal” to try the wider bars, I may get them re-sprayed if I get on with them. i was knick-named the silverback years ago so they may grow on me yet lol

    Shame about the colour of the bars, do you fing there is too much rise with them on an xc bike?

    The original Spesh bars had a bit of a rise, i think these are only fractionally more....maybe 10mm max but think its the colour that makes them look worse.

    The yellow is a bit YELLOW!!! on such a drab grey frame lol.....i may try a full winter strip down service upgrade and re-paint it something just as in ya face lol
