Few changes made to my Ariel in the form of new forks,stem and reverb. Going to swap the rims in the new year for some Spank ones.

Thats very nice. I was quite tempted by one of these.
Are you going for the Spank Spike Race rims?

Very nice! Wouldn't mind a 16x. What forks are those? x-fusion?

How did I forget about these bikes when I was looking last year? It would be a tough choice between this and the Mega TR.
Looking very good. I hope you're giving it the abuse it deserves.

Cheers mate, I'm pleased with it. Can't wait to get it back up the Nevis range.
I do like the NP Mega AM.....that's one bike I would seriously think about getting.

Nice, I've always liked the Saracen Ariel, even the early ones, although they were a bit flexy
