Greetings Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Don't usually bother posting pics of bikes I've built up but I like this one a lot. Weighing the bike really got me thinking, back in the days an XTP weighed pretty much the same and that cost a fortune. Now one can buy a reliable and light bike for 800 quid. I spent half that on a Team frame 5 or 6 years ago Echo tyres aren't a part of the set but I put them on because they look pretty swish.

Alex Dark Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Damned light for having the tank tyres and rims on! Sub 8 should be easily possible with h0le rims and lite tyres Looks very smart though, and a steal really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Is that an echo or magura brake on the rear? Looks pimp, almost makes me wish I had a mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Despite the awful stem, i like it. You never fail to have a clean bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Alty Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Stem doesnt suit me either, and need to get a grind on those rims . Looks pretty pimp in orange, but maybe get some see through cable ties instead of black ones ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Alty Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) I think that's one of the nicest 20's I've seen. Sounds strange, but the white tyre wall stripe goes so well with with the frame graphics. It's the little things... its like the old retro monty tyres, although some of the old ones had yellow lines round i think? I agree how its the small things, like crank bolts matching colour etc . Grips are pretty lame though :$ . Edited December 27, 2010 by Jon Alty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 It's amazing how the white stripe can change the bike completely. Even the "modern" Echo tyres have a groove for the stripe which you can fill in but truth be told, they are absolutely rubbish tyres. They have absolutely no grip whatsoever. I use this set for pictures only, would never ride them with performance in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
