Sweet!

Love the orange and decals look niiiice! I've just picked up a carbon 456 build and have added some bits and bobs like a dropper post 1x10 conversion etc etc. Gonna be a good little shredder I hope!

Nice ride & vinyl collection

Ha yes two passions right there. Looking forward to testing the bike out properly!

So this frame....



and the bits from this....



make this...

Looking nice.. Is that for you or the young one..

Is that one of those rad-r cage thingys..?? Does it seem to work as stated..??

Yes for Irving

Rad-r cage... yes they work well

So as is always best my "project" bike (and i use it as an ongoing change of bits) has another big change. The whole reason i bough the bandshee is that it can be run as a 26" wheel or converted to 27.5" with a change of drop outs. At the time that i bought it had previously bought new top end forks and wheels that would soon but not know be out of date. Finally i have made the change, I have to say i can feel a small difference for the better making it a faster bike




Changes has been:

36 talas 26" forks to fox float 27.5"
Mavic sx 26" wheels to mavic enduro xl 27.5"
getto 10 speed to 11 speed GX/XO1

At the moment i am still running the 26" dropouts as the shop has not got the 27.5" in stock yet, to be honest the wheels just about fit in so may just keep it like that

Matt do you need a set of 27.5 drop outs a mate has a set for sale cheap

I have got some on order but still not sure I need/want to fit them. How much by the way

27 specific drop outs will lower the bb a touch - Id have thought - so will probably help with stability and cornering.

Yes they would but will also length the back end... Going to have a think and play

Picked up some 120 / 150mm Fox Talas forks
