Boumsong Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Aup, Picked this beauty up recently. In love. I wouldn't expect too many changes to occur just yet, I shopped around for one with all the bits on it that I wanted already. Excuse the mud, I'd just literally got back from a quick play at some local trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 You're such a whore. Wait till we've dismantled your forks tonight. It'll ride beautifully after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 A flatter top crown and a direct mount stem, she would be a beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radfax Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I really wanted a Patriot when i was younger and i really wouldn't mind one now! What sort of set up do you have on the front end there? It looks quite high, how do you find it? The cranks look the business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I might have convinced him to paint it. I'm not going to spoil the surprise but fluro orange and metallic blue might be involved! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Well it's all built up again. Front: Side view (shoes blue better): It's astonishingly bright, it looks amazing. Sorted out a few issues like putting double the fork oil back in so it's back to recommended amounts and setting the top crown up so it doesn't catch on the frame. Feels loads better. Only real issues we had were the bearings for the rear swingarm. They were seized on very well indeed and unfortunately the arm got a little dented whilst trying to get them off.

Boumsong Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Those pictures hardly do the color justice! With the gloss lacquer on its soo bright to look at out in the sunshine it makes your eyes squint a bit. I just need to coat it in mud now..

Oh it does, i have some sunlight shots that i'll stick up tomorrow. It looks somewhat toned down indoors, in sunlight it gets magnified by at least 40% more awesome.

Boumsong Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'll be honest, I preferred the original colours. I'll be honest, you're a homosexual. I love it, in decent light its soo bright! And it rides beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I like the new colours, but did you consider sticking a few stickers on it? To me it looks a bit bare like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've been in touch with Orange and they're sorting out a new sticker set and some new metal badges for it too. Sounds chaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boumsong Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Gave it a service too, fresh oil in the forks and greased a few bits, sorted a few rattles and squeaks, should be lush on the trails once again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
