Nukeproof Scalp

Only recently got back into the game, was riding about on an old beater that i cobbled together with all the old spares i dragged out of the loft, I got the taste for it again so i decided to invest in a decent DH rig without bankrupting myself.

After a lot of looking round i decided to get a used Scalp frame that was in my local bike shop(not sure if its an 2011 or 2012) then built up from there.

Current spec stands as.

Still got plenty to work on, My priorities are having the fork serviced/tuned and to get the drivetrain up to standard as i cheaped out on the build so i could get riding sooner, very interested in SRAM X00/X01 11spd, but this will have to wait a couple of months till i can gather the required fortune.
also not 100% happy with Chain device, thinking of just getting an E*Thirteen and ditching Bashguard.
