They mentioned that they are busy taking photos of the products, I think they are getting rid of old stock. So I don't think they will be taking requests.

Dude, wow! You went all out, this is done well. Love the extra Hope bits. How are those grips, I am thinking of getting some?

I think the Momsen looks better and it has a Richey finishing kit which is a really nice bonus.

Then use a friend's phone, cheap cheap (read: free)

And more close-up pictures. Thanks for the images Hairy, it helps.

Get measured first, its so important. Some stores let you test ride saddles. I would try the phenom or a Gobi. I can go all day on my Gobi without any pain. Check out this list, its helpful.

Looks great.

Wow, I really know how to kill a thread. Well, here is a pick-ture: http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb9965322/p4pb9965322.jpg

More cowbell too? http://3zgehi1uaxi23dphbrgqa50r6z.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Chris-Gampat-The-Phoblographer-Borrow-Lenses-More-Cowbell-products-4-of-4ISO-1001-160-sec-at-f-8.0.jpg This one is all black, all natural.

I'm following this thread like a little creepy stalker, more picks!

No dude! what are you saying! Just get wider bars...

That HOPE V10c with those handlebars is amazing. http://media.chopmtb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Core-Bike-258-copy1.jpg

I thought I was the only one that thought this lever is umm, ugly, It's ugly. Maybe it will grow on me, for now I'll keep lovin' my stealths.

I won a pair of socks once!

Good choice, those are awesome.

Sucks about your bike man. Love the new colours on the AL329. Hope you get her back soon.

The pads in yours are still the original ones that come with the brakes.

Nice. Get that beast built already!

Finally another funny thread on the hub. this one just pushes all the right buttons. Funny story from the old days - Check Stupid diy customers - Check Ripping guys off for having fixies - Check Crazy romour spreading - Check Ninjas - Check And its spring time, the sun is out and we can start leaving the light at home.

What a close race, that Momsen looks fast. How do these guys manage with their bars so low (massively inverted stem). I get major back pain

My set of race x2 do the same and only in the front too. Noise with hope rotor and floating avid rotor. Skylark, I also had that noise when I had those. I'm keen to know what it could be.

Bro, welcome to the club. There is a lot of excellent advice here but don't take some of the detailed advice as gospel, all our bodies are different and you will learn to read your body and what works for you. To sum up some of the good points here: Always have sweets on you when you ride, even if you think its only going to be a short ride, just take sweets man. I have even taped sweets under my saddle and inside my helmet. Test your glucose before you ride so you know where you are. Wear a medic-alert bracelet. Make sure the guys you are riding with know what diabetes is and how to take care of you if you have a low, Good idea to have a glucose kit on you for long rides out in the middle of nowhere. If you feel you having a low, stop riding and get your sugar stable, don't ride! Personally for my body, I have to eat some carbs before I start my ride do prevent lows. 32GI is so good it was bad for me, I was getting constant lows because of the amount of long acting insulin I am on. Be careful of most of the recovery shakes, soooo much sugar, the 32GI recover is king!

Soooo stoked!

Looks really good.

Momsen SL629, XTR, Stans Crest wheels. Weight includes pedals. No idea on the cost as things got a bit out of hand...
