Oh bloody hell I'm about 250miles away... It's be cheaper to buy one than drive up there

 

[jointhedotz]

You're probably right

If I ever get to ride an older one I'll let you know my thoughts lol

Re:

The 456's always seem to have nice colour schemes

Bike Looks good btw

Thanks, the brown was actually a gamble as I didn't like the red or yellow and there were no pics of the brown online. I really like it

Well, I haven't updated this in a while so here's a current shot (including current dirt):



Recent upgrades:

2016 Sektor RL 150mm DPC
SLX 10spd rear mech and 11-36 cassette
XT chain
Saint shifter
Modern Deore cranks with Works Components 32t nw
Tranz-X dropper from ze germans
Spesh Purgatory tyres (rear tubeless, front to follow.....when i get over the pain from doing the rear)

Love the way the bike rides although suspect 140mm would be better on the front, it gets a bit wandery on the ups. May investigate whether I can just drop in the 140 DPC setup, would guess i can. I'm also unsure whether to switch the spring for a blue as I'm slightly over the recommended weight for the standard spring (too much chicken curry and chips on a lunchtime).

Looks great, I had the raw one back in 2012, really good frames for the money, the 150mm fork up front looks good also

I had a 140 revelation on mine, the stem was a temporary measure as I had a short hope one in the post at the time

Sunrace 11-42 cassette fitted.....HUGE.

Next to my old 11-36t:



Fitted:



Haven't had a chance to test yet due to lazyness but hoping it'll help on the hills
