Sounds like quite a result :thumbup: . They tried to deliver mine today, but every single person was out of the office at lunch, so I got a note and have re-scheduled for Monday.

Got no parts to put on it yet, so there's no rush I guess!

I really do want to build up my own bike from scratch, but it does seem a fair bit cheaper just to buy a whole bike secondhand... Hmm, I'll have to have a think!

Not necessarily, there will always be parts of the bike you'll want to change to suit, but building from scratch you can have it your way. :D

If my frame is coming it will be a straight parts swap then I'll have a Frankenstein 456 rather than rockhopper :). Although only stem, bars and rims left. Then a brake upgrade then .... I remember why I took the avids off my enduro. Hayes were fit and forget now both sets of avids have been fettle loving

I'm being sent a blue one with a white seatpost :). I will learn to love it and it will be easy to see on night rides
