isitafox Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 That is nice, makes me wanna throw a load of money at my mod now and swap the frame for something a bit more nimble, some new wheels, etc though that would definately lead to divorce.............if thats a bad thing??

Jake Beach Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 That is nice! Out of interest, did you build that up for a customer or was it something you built up as a full bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Full build, it's on Tartybikes for sale now for just shy of £1800! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirt jumper jake Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Could save about 4 tons by putting them new hope race levers on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Could save about 4 tons by putting them new hope race levers on And lose the pimp-ness of the Tech levers!? Looks alright that! I keep looking at the Bjorn frame, one day I'll order one. For now, I'm on a major Deng-free weight weenie mission with my Neon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
