Ok, she’s built and tested. Woot.
Firstly, why did I buy it? I’ve got the same frame in green hanging in the rafters. Well, it’s was a good price and I like the colour. And if I didn’t buy it, @Hipstar might have.
Greeny was built as an Enduro machine, with 180 lyriks. Descended well, but not as well as the Rune, so it fell out of favour. Wanted this to be a long travel trail bike. That’s what it does best. Even went a bit longer in the stem than usual. Nothing much changed other than fitting a 160 pike that I picked up as a spare off here a few weeks ago, and just happened to have the right colour decals. Normally I wouldn’t care for matchy matchy, but mad not to.
