So you may or may not know that I've finally got myself an MRD Badlander after a long time searching :smitten:

Not keen on the idea of running with the herd, and decided I wanted to go with spokes and high pressure ramp tyres so I kept the old school feel with 7X's & mid-school Primo V-Monsters and placed it together for a look....

What do you think ??? ???




Yes, I know the front axle needs flats putting on it to get into the forks, but I have a set of other hubs for it :knuppel2:

I suspect there will be another one appearing on here any minute soon, so watch and see :2funny: :2funny:

loving the spokes Spen ... and decent tyres make for better riding ... I'm not into the bars though... but thats just me :-*

Is that a Nos seat? I need to get that Tioga decal... Jaymz just made me an EPS to send to Del

Can you go me a close up of it to compare against the graphic I've got  :4_17_5:

I've got some nice long Gooey green brake pads you can have darlin'

I have Del, it's just not gracing my stable yet  :LolLolLolLol:  It's sort of all over the place in the house. Last count, there were parts in 4 different rooms and under the stairs.  :)  I'm hoping it'll be ready for MK this year.
