Nice. The wheelset on the HT would be better on the DH, and get some rhyno lites in 24 for the NS.
Otherwise sweet looking bikes, better luck next time at thredbo. ;]

P.P.P.S would like to thank supreme cycles for the super cheap frame

 

[supermajo1]

only thing i can thing of is upgrading the red rocket brakes

 

[sampo1]

What would you go for codes, elixers, saints??

 

[nick_dales]

Direct mount on the Specialized needed, oh and also i remember about when those frames were going super cheap a year or two ago, they were a really good buy at the time

The bars and stem on the NS ... NS districs 80mm rise, NS quark pro small,

Then lower the 409s to 80mm and it would be perfect.

Nice bikes mate, how do you find the ns traffic? , was thinking of getting one

 

[jakey_trickster]

Nice looking bikes mate.
A guy I know took the stickers off a demo like yours, it looks really good, you should consider doing it.

 

[Dan Bender]

nice bikes man,looks like a fairly good ht for a budget bike lol also agree with above^these demos look aweome without the stickers,kinda like a redesigned paint job from the new ones

 

[sampo1]

Yeah thanks received the NS traffic off CRC for like 250 which was a steal. Got lots of the other parts second hand. Yeah was thinking of pulling the stickers off will probs do that.

Thanks for the comments.
