Bos Posted September 2, 2020 Share Let me start with the brakes - if you want a set of Piccolos from trickstuff, its a 6 month waiting list (I've seen it at 18) so when I was offered blue in 5 months, I took 2 sets. Stem cap is already trickstuff and obviously I was forced to go blue Finally, the chainring, Hope one day might get to Garbaruk level but its not there yet by a longshot - again, forced to go blue because of the brakes. www.garbaruk.com Think XX1 in 8 colours but lighter I did have blue cranks but they didn't fit the Cannondale standard. As for a dropper, baby steps, hope to get to a point where I need one I think changing the fox decals will go a long way to sorting the array of colours and bringing balance to the force Plus a blue derailleur cage is also on the wayHey you do know I'm just pulling your leg Just a tad Jealous because my bike is officially not nearly light or bling anymore. Where are you getting the Fox decals made, or are you getting them from fox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted September 2, 2020 Share i also think the blue and red is fine. the brakes are gonna stay blue obviously. the blue and red accents tie in with the adjusting knobs on the shock and fork imo...those are also always gonna be that colour. I think the fork can do with either a copper decal set to match the frame or if you think the copper is the colour messing it all up....a murdered out matt black one for the fork and frame. blue/red hubs look crap imo. also...Doesn't the new axs come in copper colour? hubs are orange, look red in picture but very orange Agreed on fork, my plan is either blacked out or copper Cassette was bought 20 months ago and AXS didn't exist so I only got the upgrade kit - black would be better but I swear the gold chain and gold cassette have a longer shelf life MORNE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted September 2, 2020 Share hubs are orange, look red in picture but very orange Agreed on fork, my plan is either blacked out or copper Cassette was bought 20 months ago and AXS didn't exist so I only got the upgrade kit - black would be better but I swear the gold chain and gold cassette have a longer shelf lifeno i know yours are orange...i was saying that so you dont match them up to the red and blue bling haha edit: reading my post again i can see how it might have come across like i was saying your 'red hubs' look crap lol. but that was not the case though. ...or you could just embrace the RGB now where can you get some green on there Edited September 2, 2020 by morneS555 Wayne pudding Mol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted September 2, 2020 Share Yoh.... Wayne. Truth be told, I reckon you got exactly what you wanted. Better suited to you than the Unno. Never mind my bib shorts, my tracksuit pants and lesotho blanket are currently pitching a tent.....

Never mind my bib shorts, my tracksuit pants and lesotho blanket are currently pitching a tent.....And with the balance I was going to squander on the Unno, I have cajoled Rob who owns the garden route trail park to come build me a mini track where I can crash in my own garden - he’s designed a 900m loop which is fast down and then a simple but hard return to the top Edited September 2, 2020 by Waynemol Eddy Gordo, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Bos and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted September 2, 2020 Share That is all kinds of nice!As a bigger bike kind of guy, I would not hesitate to ride your bike. And ride it all day. To all the places. And ride down all the trails. And then do the same again tomorrow. I think you built a fantastic ride. And that black&gold.... [emoji108]Good choice sir!

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 3, 2020 Share Very clean build, just not a Cannondale fan. Hey, that's just me though........Feel a little disappointed personally, was looking forward to drooling over a Mondraker.

Monark Posted September 3, 2020 Share Dude great build - special spec and the bike in my opinion looks great the way it is. Two bottle cages in the frame and 120mm worth of suspension... what more could one want?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
