DubbelBuys Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 Thanx for the comments! I love the colour too. When I've finally decided on the colour & phoned up MoreWood Steve said they've finished that blue & I had to choose another colour. I was then back to square 1! Was pondering between natural & the OXblood / candy apple red & the blue. Steve then phoned me up the next day telling me that my luck was in & that he 'discovered' some of the blue that was stashed away. Glad I went with the blue & not the oxblood.
BikeBailing Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I like the blue so much i also got it on my izumu that I'm building up now.
DubbelBuys Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 Awesome! I want to get some orange / ford orange bling bits for my bike to compliment the colour!
Airborne Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Well done Jacques, bike looks awesome.The blue worked out perfectly, looks so nice I am tempted to give Steve a call and see if the have any left for mine. Congrats and many happy miles. DubbelBuys 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Well done dude! Just a word - you might want to change those Crossmarks on there! You can see that they love mud sooo much that they form an inseparable bond with the stuff, turning your lovely bike into a snow-sled in mere seconds! Get something slightly more aggressive in tread pattern to deal with it. Something like a Nobby Nic / WTB Wolverine or some such.
BikeBailing Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Awesome! I want to get some orange / ford orange bling bits for my bike to compliment the colour! Patches will love that, he has a fetish for orange bits

Get something slightly more aggressive in tread pattern to deal with it. Something like a Nobby Nic / WTB Wolverine or some such. Thanx for the tip! Was wondering which tyres to go for, but I bought a couple of crossmarks from cwc when they had their sale, so slammed them on to try out the bike, but you're right... it's a snow sled in seconds! Will check out the WTB's & Nobby Nic. Any comments on how these rate against the Nevegals?
DubbelBuys Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 Patches will love that, he has a fetish for orange bits OK... so Patches shout it out loud: Where can I get my hands on some nice orange bling bits?

If you're looking at that side, rather go for the WTB Weirwolf or the Schwalbe Nobby Nic / Muddy Mary or the Seaguro. I have a feeling the Nevegals & Muddy Marys may be over-compensating though, as you have a lot more hardpack up there in OFS than actual mud or soil (sandier type of trails)
patches Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) OK... so Patches shout it out loud: Where can I get my hands on some nice orange bling bits? I just happen to have finished orange-blinging one of my bike this evening.I get the orange bits from CRC. Stem: Easton HavocGrips: RagleyBash Ring: StraitlineSeatpost Clamp: StraitlineShifter Cables: Aliigator (got that from a LBS) If Hope made orange stuff I'd be on that like a hobo at a soup kitchen... but sadly they don't. And contrary to BikeBailing's belief... only one of my bikes has orange bling, I have a red Hope fetish on the BEEEG morewood Edited October 31, 2012 by patches

Seriously impressed. Highly recommended!
