WHAAAATTTTT? Is that pretty lady coming with us?

Awesome .... but why you taking pics and not building her up .....

 

She's gone in for 3M bodywork protection treatment. I've got all the bits and pieces lying about in waiting. I'll hopefully be able to do the build next week, probably over the weekend - will post again when it's done.

That's the plan!

The yellow frame is really stunning in the flesh. I'm going to feel like a very average looking bloke with a supermodel girlfriend.

Cool man, I hope the build goes well for you.

Here is my Pyga 140 650b build with which I am well pleased.

 

Rockshox monarch RT3 200x57 shock (comes with frame)

Xfusion sweep RL2 fork, currently set to 140mm

XT crankset, rear derailleur and cassette, Saint shifter

Raceface NW 34t chainring

XT brakes with icetec rotors (180 front, 160 rear)

KS LEV seatpost

Nukeproof warhead stem and bars

ODI rogue grips

Hope hubs, WTB frequency i23 rims

Hans dampf 2.25 trailstar front, 2.25 pacestar rear

 

Spent much of the weekend putting it together, did pretty much everything, with the exception of stuff that requires special tools, like pressing bottom bracket and headset, installing crown race and star nut, and cutting steerer. This is my first build - It's been a nice learning curve and a rewarding experience.

Managed to swap and shorten the brake cables without needing a rebleed, though the rear brake could do with one. Being the klutz that I am, I dropped the spare insert and it bounced off somewhere. I gave up looking for it after an hour. Fortunately I was able to drill off the olive and prise out the old one.

Yet to take it for a ride (apart from down the driveway). When I'm finished admiring it I might just do that, but right now I'm reluctant to get it dirty.

Still to do:- would like to get rid of the gaudy Nukeproof graphics on the bar. Might cover them with vinyl covering.

Just a quick question. I'm looking for a bike carrier and was wondering what people are using with their Pygas. I can't make up my mind whether to go for a platform type or the hanging type. It's to go on a tow hook.

 

I like the idea of the platform as all the clamping is to the wheels and not the frame but they look bulky and heavy to fit and remove regulary. It'll be going on a 2012 Golf (Mk6) GTI.
