STEVE-0 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Looks awesome andy! Congrats mate, you deserve a sponsor the way you just ride up everything, nuts May have to have a tinkle back in Lboro, wheres the MBK now then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 thanks for the support MBK is in my garage, I'm thinking of selling itNice frame, but the bike looks like dog shit with that fork.Each to their own, and I did think that a bit at first, but its riding too nicely! The frame is really stiff and the geometry is spot on. I'm gonna leave the forks on as I seem to be able to do 360 pivots more easily, and they're really good to front wheel Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Bike looks good, I like the Slates.I see you're running the Monty freewheel not the Rockman... Any reason or they not sent one to you yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
