I'm a proper tw*t... I honestly put a stop on buying ANY THING else after the Curas because the next purchase could have been by the hour from Mr Divorce Lawyer. But then my brother decides to come and see me later this month, a client finally pays some UK bills that I'd pretty much written off 8 months ago and I happen to end up on Ebay and pink bike late last night after studiously ignoring the bargain Easton Carbon Riser Bars on CRC.

 

So, really, honestly and pinky swear, this is the last you'll see of me around this thread in a while. I might just have a problem. If anyone sees me anywhere near a bike shop in the next year tackle me to the ground and drag me out screaming.

The vorprung and the ramp control are for the pike so it doesn't feel left out!

I see, you can't favour one part over the other, they are like children haha.

You don't know my children! The 2 year old is in the dog box as he's hidden my phone some where... probably with the DSTV card and my wifes Longines watch that went missing about 2 months ago. Can't find it anywhere and battery has run out. So currently in that department I have a favourite especially as I have clients trying to get hold of me and I'm trying to sort a sim swap and resurrect a back up phone. Ugg.

Bought the bike A few weeks ago but it got new wheels recently Novatech hubs on rapide rims 

 

Bike rides really good for wagon wheels , also upgraded standard rotors (180/160) to 203 and 180.

 

What width did you go with for the rims?

 

Before and after impressions?

27mm internal , coming off 30mm internal 650b

 

I can't really make comparisons since the bikes differ so much 

 

steel 140mm 650b hardtail vs Alu 150/135 29er trail/enduro bike
