I had been commuting to and from work and doing the odd MTB ride on my old GT Chucker DJ hardtail, heavy and slow but it did the job. I found cracks in the chain stays so it had to be retired.
I bought this Fire Eye Flame hardtail frame cheap off CRC almost a year ago, finally got around to building it up! It'll be mostly used for commuting but may see the odd off road adventure! The build is a mixture of new parts and parts off my old bike(s).
Specs as follows:-
Frame: Fire Eye Flame (M)
Fork: Fox Float 32 100mm/120mm travel
Handlebars: Spank Oozy 740mm
Stem: Spank Oozy 50mm
Headset: Fire Eye Integrated
Grips ODI Vans
Saddle: SDG Bel Air
Seatpost: Bontrager
Brakes: Shimano Deore with centre lock rotors F + R
Pedals: GT Platform
Cranks: Shimano Deore
Drivetrain: Shimano SLX 10 speed
Chainring: CSixx 32T NW
Wheel set: Shimano MT35 650b F + R
Tyres: Maxis Detonator 650b F + R - currently running tubes
I need to have a look at the forks as I think they need air, I bought them off a fellow burner and the top adjustment cap is incomplete (I have some of the parts). Apparently the forks are set at 100mm and can be raised to 120mm. Also I'll get another set of treads for off road.
