Euuurgh I have still not cleaned the bike =/ Every day I've had time to do so the weather has been torrential. Today being a prime example!
In other news I have a Stumpjumper FSR (w/Fox 140mmTriad) & 140mm Rockshox Sektor RL (w/remote poploc) which is waiting to have my current hard tail components serviced and transplanted over. Maybe I'll actually get out to Glentress to have some fun soon toooooo

Woohooooo, so i've scraped the Stumpjumper FSR idea with my LBS (they kinda miss sold it to me way overpriced and old), and sourced a 2008 Cannondale Prophet w/ RP23 for £260 all inc. Slightly more hardcore than I was after maybe, but it looks absolutely lovely. Less spannering with a single pivot too (and teamed with one of the best rear air shocks there is right now). And its not even got a crack swing arm - BONUS!. It's also one of the last models hand built in the USA (unsure if that's good or bad though
 ).Basically its an American Orange 5 I guess Throwing my RockShox Sektor Solo Air RL, Mavic 717 on Hope Pro 2's, Juicy 7's, mostly LX stuff + some XT on it and job's a goodun'! Wheels although a little light for this frame will do me for now, with room to spare in the future. Plus the shock can be attached in two positions giving an XC or AM angle anyway. Pictures to follow when I actually pick the frame up this week!
