This is why you should do white Mike :

Obviously it`s not finished yet before you all start with your smart remarks, but it`s getting there

I had fun building up the back wheel, I didn`t realise that you had to off set the hub to take it to account the freewheel side which is wider, I fitted the wheel and it was almost touching the frame on one side

Billy, whack some Shimano Saints on there and it'll be the bollocks. Looks mint.

I`d like to go with Profiles with a ti axle, but if not I have some Race Face cranks that can go on there

Billy won't need a seat any larger. He spends more time sitting, or rolling, around in the mud!!

Looks good that Bill

The Holeshot prototypes were actually white, but I can't remember why I didn't go for white on the production frames.

Here's a little story about the design process/thinking behind the Holeshot frame. Can't remember whether it mentions that one of the prototypes was "tested" by being chucked out of the back of a pick-up truck on the M1 at about 90mph* (the back end bent and the rear wheel got mashed up, but the frame didn't snap).

* accidentally, not on purpose. I don't condone chucking bikes down the motorway at 90mph
