Wow, that's rather tasty. Would like to see a pic of the hubs with the sc logo. That sounds good, I like thing to match on my bike as much as possible but that's just another level lol.

nice bike...

SSSSWED replied... on 12 January 2011

This bike is a 10 all day long. For those that dont agree, well you havent ridden it!! It descends like a downhill machine and climbs like a dream. It is a true All Mountain machine. Oh and looks uber cool - but then again I would say that - wouldn't I?

very nice. Have seen some popping up around the welsh trails but not asked anyone how they ride. Is it ok uphill too?

SSSSWED replied... on 30 September 2010

I chose the Talas over the Float so I can drop the front end and make it all the better for the climbs.

SSSSWED replied... on 30 September 2010

As far as I can tell it goes up just fine although it still needs its maiden run out in the Valleys or the Peaks - soon!!

The perfect bike? I think so. This bike is truly a thing of beauty. You lucky lucky person!

SSSSWED replied... on 30 September 2010

Not lucky just work my ass off to get the best bike for me. It's pretty damn perfect as you say - you'd be surprised I think just how stiff and incredibly quiet and smooth it is. Cheers for the rating

Shes a beauty no doubt about it, did she come with a bell and reflectors? I hope so, I can't see them in the photo, be safe, be seen. What is that horrendous creaking noise it makes by the way, is it supposed to do that? You be careful with her

SSSSWED replied... on 13 September 2010

No bell, no reflectors - i've been cheated!! That creaking always seems to come from the rear - perhaps it's your bike?!?!
