Hey Guys...

Well I thought it was time for a little update because well most of the updates are throughout the post, so I thought I would make it a little easier
A little bit more money has been spent and I think she is looking really really nice now. New forks, new seat and a few other things has made the change, and I like it, hope you all do too.

I must say this has been the best purchase I have made. It is a great do it all bike, and it really excels in the 4X scene, just so beautiful to ride. It is so easy to handle, and is just so nimble, and just a hell of a lot of fun. If you ever are looking at spending some money on a 4X bike, I highly recommend this frame.

Enough Jibber Jabber, here are some pics. This how the bike is at the moment, hopefully some new handle bars soonish, but cash flow isn't great.

Is this going to be one of those threads in which we get updates when you buy a dust cap?
Or update it with new pics of the parts we've all seen?


Even so, at least this time we're starting witha major thing like the frame (which is bloods nice, I must say)!

Don’t worry, Nick has no intensions of making a rubbish thread like that. He’s just excited for his new frame and thought he would show people before he built it. Should be built up with the xc spec by the end of the week? right?

Yeah, Ben is right.

It won't be an update everytime I get sometime, but as it progresses.

Everything on it will be awesome except for the forks. I need to get new ones, but at the moment my pockets have moths coming out of them, so it will be a little while, so I will have to stick with my Manitou SX something or other's.

Can't wait to ride it.

Oh and the parts as I said will be LX-XT gear so it should be sweet. :D

Probably keep the stuff I have now, as far as Bars, Stem and Wheels go, but I was given a seat from Craig (The Owner) as a little surprise so, that was good.

If I do need new bars or stem, I will get them as I think I need them, if that makes sense. :D

Ahh "buddy" it isn't. SX Trail (orange) is not the same as SX (White as seen here). SX Trail is a 160mm travel freeride frame, SX is a short travel MTN-X frame.


Anyway, awesome, should be a good project. Wish I had one.
