So, I finally got round to upgrading my SB-66 from SRAM XX to SHIMANO XT.

 

Now my SB-66 is PERFECTLY COMPLETE!!, the way it should be!!!

 

Total upgrade includes full XT Groupset, with i-Spec Shifters and Ice-Tech 180's...also includes a couple of blue (common) blue accents and a "sticker"...

 

You need to scrub your floor...

I did a tubeless conversion, I can't believe the difference two tyres can make. Got the Conti Race King for the rear and the Mountain King for the front, both UST and I did the inflating with my small frame pump. Needless to say I got a good arm workout :clap: Next buy a floor pump.

Coming from a tank (albeit a much loved tank) it is quite a pleasent upgrade...

Slapped a SLR Carbonio Flow under my bum. Must say its pretty comfortable from the first ride. Was meant for my next bike but I could'nt resist.

Haha yeah the renthals are more the pre-kashima fox stanchion colour.

 

What colour will the PYGA be?

 

If raw Morewood have done some awesome work with the 2012 raw makulu and its subtle gold accents.

 

No blue accents! it'll just look like a commin anthem

 

3 other colours I've thought look awesome with a "neutral" frame (raw, black, or white) are orange, lime green, purple. I like these because they're more rare than the red and blue anno stuff that is now stock on so many bikes

 

Orange. Maybe some easton havocs in orange. (i know how you love easton)

If you go for the new 35mm format your can get the green. Black stem though. Bars and stem should contrast one another imo.

 

Here's an example of some raw and orange hotness
