Finally got mine back from the factory after the unfortunate "staining incident".

 

Frame looks like new so I treated her to some new cable housings for brakes and gears.

 

Last thing to do is to put a mirror polish on the cranks.

Kings of Morewood I appeal to thee!

I'm seeking a Large Morewood XC/Am Bike something like a Shova or similar or anything thats not DH

I love the Morewood build quality and style - No gimmicks , fast and plush! :drool:

A complete bike or even just a frame - they appear to not be easy to find tho -_-

 

Please PM me or post something if any of you Morewood Stalwarts can offer a brother something

:)

Good Lord that thing is beautiful

That champagne Gold mixed with the Gold of the fork Stanchion gives it an overall sublimity!

I was so hoping they would just upgrade the Shova with the same looking tubes and rear triangle. Imagine this bike with 140mm travel and just a bit lighter than the current Shova.

 

But no...they made that Split pivot malarkey, Trek look a like ding met sewe pivots en what have you. Still gutted...

Why are the rear shocks on some Zula's facing backwards and some the otherway round? Personal choice, does it matter?

also noticed that, I dont think it makes a diference, but the slightly bigger side might make waterbottle space a bit cramped.
