Damn they still look so good.
I know second hand isn't the nicest thing with a new full build but there's a used full groupset of X01 7 Spd gear on here somewhere, full stealth to go with build without spending god knows how much on new.

Did you get new pivot bolts also? Worth the effort.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I went to Europe over the new year and managed to get stupidly sick when I got back 3 weeks ago.
I popped into grab my forks today from http://www.nsdynamics.com.au who have turned an average fork into something special feeling with their Hyper Performance service before its even on the bike, buttery smooth and hardly has any friction from the Racing Bros seals just from pushing on the fork by hand.
If your looking at getting your a fork/shock serviced I cant recommend these guys enough, you'd be silly to spend your money anywhere else from what they have done for me and what i have seen them do in the flesh with attention to detail and their custom mods and tweaks.
Little update: I decided to take the decals off this evening as I'm having some others made up

Best move you can make. If with fork height you can get about 63.5 that would be perfect, my 62 is a bit too much and 65 isn't enough. Pics with forks in frame...?
Boom king is a saviour for Sundays.

Sorry about the crap iPhone pics but I can't be asses to take proper pics of it just yet
Finally pulled my finger out and got my frame built up, had to get the bottom link cut to take the rc4 also brand new bearing kit installed and new pivot hardware and bolts.
I have since found out thats these fox shocks were known for blowing out the compression assembly which is a sucks.
Pretty happy with how its looking. Juts need some decals made up but not to sure where to get them done!?!
