TheoG Posted February 18, 2022 Share Just finished the build. Turned out quite nice . Its going to be my "road bike" when there is too much mud around. Edit: Surprisingly even with the steel frame its only 11.0kg as it stand there 😉 Edited February 19, 2022 by TheoG Scary Rider, Rolf Hansen, Andrew_Smith and 21 others 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

117 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Did you nick the jockey wheels from the xtr set? That does look super cool with those over sized jockey wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted February 19, 2022 Share Not a boast as such but given the price of tyres and the issue of stock 👀 New rear tyre, Conties owns the Ardent Race this replaced, can't complain since I've moved to Maxxis it's the first tyre I have "lost".

Patchelicious Posted February 19, 2022 Share Was going to buy a new bicycle, but my current mileage doesn’t justify it. So spent half the money, and bought something that I have been wanting for ages…. Those who know me, know that my true passion is motorbikes.

Please post some photos, I'm seriously considering .... . Please don't tell the wife 🙈. Doesn't get any closer than that to what you're asking?

Very nice. I'm not used to no suspension though, so will take some time to get used to it, but so far I like it ... Posted on Friday but here goes again Edit: Do you also stay in Alberton?

I've been toying with going back to a steel SS trail bike for ages and seeing how rad all these look is making me want to sell my dual suss frame more and more.... The rigid fork/frame bundle and a 120mm trail fork option would just tick ALL the boxes. Does anyone have a picture of a Medium? I would buy the black one in Medium.
