Danny Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Looks nice Andy. Much better than the MAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 That looked sick man. How do you find those frames? Was really tempted at the bike show to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Only ridden it at the dj ride soo far, but will be giving it a thrash around chicksands soon. Imagine it will be good though as the steerings pretty quick considering the 130mm fork and its got a nice tight back end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christian@simtrabikes.com Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Nice build... Might want to try lowering the fork a bit. This frame was designed for a 4'' Max fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank_rider Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nice build... Might want to try lowering the fork a bit. This frame was designed for a 4'' Max fork.Thats my intention when i get the Pikes, run them at 100mm for 4X and bump them up to 130 for freeride etc.May well be riding it on the london -> brighton ride this sun too, still need to get to chicksands, but my ankles still not healed properly :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Well the inevitable happened and i spent yet more money on my bike, and so it now has a shiney set of rock shox pike 426 coils and lovely they are too Running them at 120mm travel as thats made the handling even faster and will try them at 100 at the NPS 4X at the weekend. Really love em, soo much nicer ride than the old dropoffs, more sensitive and quicker damping Soo stiff even compared to the bolt through dropoffs.Sorry about the shitty camera phone quality pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 That bike is absolutely mint. The only thing that lets it down for me is the tyres, they have retro sidewalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks really nice, I'd want one but I don't live near enough to a 4X track to justify having one, I going down to Chicksand this summer to visit my uncle so I'll take the Scott and have a play.
