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

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

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

yum yum, spokes ftw! least there will be no flexie flexie

ED209 · « **Reply #2 on:** May 10, 2011, 07:52 PM »

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

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

Got a blue & white rider and blue & chrome rider already

I have Del, it's just not gracing my stable yet

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.
