Nice one nicklouse, you'll have to give us a revue of the Z150's one day soon.

Sweet.
I see another Scott frame in the background, sadly tossed aside.
And a can of beer for the build-up....

yeah that's a 99 octane that is not sadly tossed aside it is in the proccess of a complete stripdown and rebuild heres a pick http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/photo/?op=view&image=51175 it's a bit more xc than the fr and a damn bit lighter.

and it took more than a can of beer.

[jayboy882003]

that is pretty phat!!!!!

 

[nicklouse]

well a quick update the stem was too short so that has been replaced with a race face diablous 70mm one. the spring was too soft (new one fitted 600 lbs) and the tyres are too damm heavy (schwalbe fat alberts on the way).

still needs more riding to have any real idea as to what i have put together.
