cheers guys,this ones taken an age,i got the frame in august,dandare had it for sale at mk but without the correct forks so i gave myself bit of a headache trying to source a set,to get a set in only a week was a bloody miracle but with it being the same week as id bought sams robbo frameset,bars and seat post it left a huge crater in my pocket,one which i dont wish to repeat.this is defo it for this year,ive got 8 show ponies,more than i could have hoped for when i started 3 years back,i will see how i feel later on but for now for sure im done ,unless anybody parts with a patty

That is fooking lovely

Good job with the build, the parts are all spot on and work really well together.

I take they are NOT the DX pedals you are trying to strip at the moment
