O'k so been waiting for bits to get these sorted for over a week, so now i have im showing off!!

Think they match up pretty nice color wise but im not sure what to change next? Seats kinda bulky and very heavy so thats on the list but was wondering if you guys had any bright ideas?

Drop a few spacers off the head stack ?

you can get colour coded blackspire lower rollers from chain reaction that fit the box guide
i will post up a pic when i have fitted mine.

Blue pedals, stem and grips. Will look ace like that if you can find them in the same blue as the wheels!

Ive actually just changed the pedals to answer roves and unfortunately they dont come in blue :( will be looking into stem and grips though, any recommendations stem wise? will be looking for something light as shes a heavy old girl at 34 lbs! 8-)

I wouldnt know dude. If you wanna colour match, you might have to find whatevers in that colour. A stem is a stem pretty much.

The green stem on my jump bike is a 12 year old Plant X job. But its the only thing I could find in the same colour.

After having a look about theres a few in the anodized blue so i think ill just choose by weight, ive set myself a target of 30 lbs so every little helps n all that. Thinking of making myself a new bracket for the roller wheel out of carbon and maybe a couple of other bits to save some money.

Lol. Na, one of my spare bedrooms! lol. Ive got another 4 bikes in the shed!

What forks are they? If they are 55's or 66's they weigh a ton.

tbh, I wouldn't chase figures. I rode a mates 24seven that weighed 36lbs over the big line at chicky and it felt lighter than my trials bike in the air.

There just dj3s, think there around 2.7kg which is alot compared to say foxes at around 1.5!
To be honest im no where near good enough to warrant the weight whoring but i cant seem to help myself lol

I have to admit ive kinda been bitten by the bug, i didnt expect to spend more than 3-400£ when i started a few months ago and now every time i look at it im thinking just another 100 on this and that lool!
