So, last year I got my hands on an old Rockrider 6.3 frame to do an experiment build so I could learn how bikes are put together.

Stripped it back to bare ally, scavenged and bought various bits for it so it's a bit of a Pick'n'Mix.

I started out building it for Surfette (test it a few times and if I liked the feel of FS then get myself and 2nd hand Stumpy) but as things progressed and I had a better idea of what it was gonna finish up as I informed her I was gonna keep it for myself

Today, with some expert builder's help (My SurfBum), the final task of re-cabling the front brake was completed and she's finished. Well, for now anyway...
I'm new to FS so will need to use her for a while and see what needs tweaking.

Excellent Matey, and i'm not yours i'm mine.
Its a really good build mate, i think you have done a blinding job.

Sorry, that was supposed to be Mr..

Looks neat! What's the rear shock and is it on the right way or does it not matter?

Rob, I have no idea

And it does look rather like a Santa Cruz doesn't it

Yeah, stole that idea from the Bike Radar review of your bike in it's original form.

Christina, ie
Born again

I like that, building one up could be the route into full sus i am looking for

Very nice Ev.....

Looks proper smart

No it matters not, mines the same way as Ev's

Why no call it Santa Blu

Last week I removed the big ring, swapped the 32 middle for a 36 and fitted a bashuard. Finally managed to get out in the saddle last night and seems like a good move.



Next step is try and find a good pair of 2nd hand U-Turn forks for reasonable money and it will be all set for trail centres as well as it's usual XC sessions locally

Keep an eye out for some nice pikes
good bit of work there
