I got a Marin mount vision pro

Fox vanilla RLC 140 front forks
Fox rp23 rear shock
Hope m4 front and rear brakes 220mm disc and 200 rear with braided lines
All the drive train is shimano xtr stuff
Cane creek headset
Real nice hollow bottom bracket but cant remember what it is! Lol

What else??

Oh got some sweet mavic rims which are really light too.

It's a nice bike but I don't get out on it enough :(

[MitchGTI]

Got a 2010 Scott Voltage FR30, Renthal bars n stem, chain ring, Rockshox Tottems, V12's, Hope pro 2's just about to order a saint groupset and fox rc4 for the rear!

This is my little project at the minute,  The golf seems to have ground to an halt and I'm thinking of getting rid I'm using the bike to go to work on now...

I know I have a diesel but I'm wanting to move into a bigger house and so I've started using the bike and saving the £60-£70 in diesel I usually spend each week just to goto work.

Bike spec nothing fantastic at the minute but I'm getting there, my main things where to sort the front forks and rear shock.

RockShox Recon 100 front forks
Fox rp23 rear shock, (TFTuned) heavy duty mounts
Shimano Nexave 160mm front disc with XT rear v brakes
FSA Orbit headset
XT spd pedals
XT rear mech with LX front mech
Mavic rims which are so old its unbelievable(the disc on the front isn't even an International Standards)
New Schwalbe land cruiser tyres front and back
To come will be new wheels then a disc conversion on the back and then new brakes and groupset.

This is it when I first started on it.


And this is it has it stands now.

Darren

Darren, here's my Specialized S-Works Epic. Custom build and I love it. Round Dalby there's nothing quicker  





Fox 100 RLC Forks
Spesh Brain Shock
Spesh carbon bars & ends
SRAM X0 shifters & rear mech
XTR crank & rings
XTR front mech
Roval Controle wheels & tubeless Conti Mountain Kings
Hope Tech X2 brakes
Spesh Command Post

[mortygttdi]

Very nice mate, It looks like the conti mountain king's are quite popular?

Darren

[LouCyffer]

It's the only way to fly. I need a great all round tyre as I run tubeless. So no switching rubber to fit the conditions of the ride. Nothing else is as good, although the Panaracer Fire XC that I ran weren't bad. The contis have better wet grip by far.

The last pic I have of mine although it has changed a little since.



Now running;

Hope 2 hubs
Mavic 717 rims
SRAM 990 red rear cassette
KMC X9 SL gold chain

And it is now really light and very fast.  Had the upgrades as a treat to myself after I cracked a couple of ribs at llandegla hitting a tree at 25 mph

It's only now I'm getting my confidence back

[JPC]

Oh I forgot. I'm running on hope 3 pro hubs. Clicky clicky!!

[QD MBE]

As Above - Titanium coloured Specialised Stumpjumper Comp HT, bit old school, but neat and reliable and takes a pounding!

[gobbleplease]

It doesnt go up very well mind you !





ive got a pitch for the rest, ive had about 6 or 7 hard core trail bikes and the cheapest one ive bought has been the best ! cant beat a pitch with a set of big foxes on it !!

[JPC]

Oh man I miss my dh rig!! I used to have some bad offs! Which hurt.

I switched to a xc bike and slowly migrated my heavy Downhill parts to lighter more appropriate parts haha

[gobbleplease]

My worst one has been the collar bone ! fecked up the road gap at innerleithen 

Yea DH is pretty soar Im bodyarmoured up to the max now, ive had a couple of really bad ones since but the armour has saved me !
