My new ride!

[Mr Pies]

Picked this little beaut up tonight. Seems I got a bit of a bargain according to my mountain biking mates. It's got brand new xt cranks on it, avid juicy 7's and rock shox reba's. It's also got goodridge braided brake lines in it as well.

The lad had only used it twice off road and a few times on road, it's like new.

[Mr Pies]

The only thing I want to change is the handle bars. Can't wait to go to Cannock and try it out!

[Watchman]

Looks really good. What sort of bars do you prefer?

[Mr Pies]

The ones that rise up a bit. Not sure what they're called though?

Riser bars

[Chicken Chaser]

Like the colour scheme mr pies, nice contrast.

Yeah, riser bars. I prefer a more upright riding position too, rather than being stretched out but you might find a shorter stem or one with a slight rise suits you better. Prices of stems seems on par with bars so worth considering.

The lad who sold it me gave me a spare saddle worth £30. I've put my own white saddle on it now and swapped the given one with my mate for a 40mm stem.

Just looking at riser bars now. I like the Truvativ hussefelt comp 680mm 40mm.

Nice, how much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?

Nicely done indeed

Absolute bargain. With that kit it probably retailed for 3 times that

[Mr Pies]

I'm paying a lot more than that for not much better kit...

[andynic]

Very nice, awesome for that money.

I need to get back to Cannock have not been for 6 months shame its 75 miles away, great riding though.

Enjoy getting it dirty.

[Mr Pies]

Guys which is the best forum to sell the above frame and forks on?

I really really do not want to use ebay, and my Santa Cruz heckler frame and Fox 36's are on the way.

Very addictive this mountain biking lark!

[Gizmo!]

Singletrackworld, I'd say.

[wilbo83]

That looks a bargain for 350, well done

Thanks. All those bits are now on my heckler plus some maxxis high rollers. Just gotta sell the frame now.
