Had this bike since May last year and have been loving it. I may be biased but it really is the best bike I have ever had the chance to ride. Couldn't really ask for anything more excluding a swift rider.
Pretty much revamped the entire bike with new parts a few weeks ago and I couldn't be more stoked to get back into it all again, just in time for the race season.
A big thanks to Kegs at AvantiPlus in Wollongong for helping me out heaps over the last few years and in particular with this bike. Couldn't have asked for a better or more helpful mechanic.

Photo's are a bit sketchy as I literally took all of them in just over 3 minutes (says the camera) because I was in a rush heading off to Thredbo.
Just about happy with everything on the bike. The forks pictured are just a temporary replacement while I was waiting on a replacement part for my 2010 Teams. Have a few Twenty6 goodies in the post while to be honest won't make much difference. Tyres are also temporary and will be getting the new Schwalbe Evo tyres when they come out but if they don't pick it up I'll go back to the Continental Kaisers.
