    Thanks Gavin for resizing the photos.

    The wheels from our friends in the far east , 50mm carbon clinchers , got them from a LBS . Going to leave them as they are , unbranded . I like that 'stealth' effect.

    Yes indeed , the Di2 battery is mounted on the underside of the left hand chain stay. This is a Di2 specific framset , ie proper fittings for the battery and no cable guides on down tube.

    I hope to have more photos sorted some and hopefully they are a the correct size.

    finally cleaned the thing :D just after ordering new silver hubs for it as the current ones are shot, i must have replaced everything that was on the original bike by now, this isnt a downhill rig btw you press that magic orange button to shorten the forks and extend the shock for uphills only weighs about 14 kg as well.

    Looking good! Did you get the brakes sorted?

    28lbs is light!

    Not familiar with the bike, what is it? I haven't been keeping up with tech, finally a bike that can fly downhill that doesn't have to be carried back up?

    Still life with wilting tulips. Old bike, new wheels.

    Lovely.

    I'm also impressed that you photographed it at an angle to prevent us from measuring the saddle-bb distance. ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 664 ✭✭✭barry75


    Thanks Lumen,
    Here are a few more pics at different angles;)

    OMG not only do you have a bionicon (golden willow i presume? whats the spec on it? i saw xtr brakes :eek: ) but you have basically the same bench :D the world is funny sometimes haha


  • Registered Users Posts: 388 ✭✭El.duderino


    Golden willow scandium. 20 speed X9. Fairly light for FS. Best bike I have ever riden. Climbs as fast as racy bikes and comes down like a proper dh rig. Its only when I ride a hardtail do I realize how bad I am and how good this bike is!

    theses bike are actually amazing, its a pity they arnt well known (over here anyway), my own weighs nothing for what it is (between 13-14 kg), im actually afraid to go near a hardtail as this thing gives me so much confidence :D

    I liked mine until one snapped going over some cobbles. They don't look like Ti on the inside.
