Just finished building it this morning and love it (well looking at it as it hasnt seen any trails as yet, but hopefully it will ride as well as it looks)....

Just read the thread about being overbiked. Add me to the club please!

Hi Sammy, its a 456 carbon frame (obviously). I just got some pace rc41 fighter forks 20mm bolt thru axle this morning to complete it.

Everything else is a bit of a mish mash of what was in the left overs box and stolen from my previous on-one. So gears are a basic SRAM X9/X7 (3x9), wheels are mavic crossride rear with a novotec front hub on an alex rim something or other. Handlebars are FSA carbon, stem is off my wifes scott, seatpost is off her boardman, and the rest of the kit is plain bog standard stuff. Oh cranks and bottom bracket are out of my ancient stumpjumper. Tyres are 2.4 Specialized Eskars. All up weight is 26lbs, which I dont think is too bad for a bike as burly as this one.

Hmmmm its a bit marmite. I'll be PM'ing you with my Solicitors details for compensation for my eyes OP
