Lovely bike m8, ive just signed up on here and am looking at the alpine 160, i cu had 1. My minds made up now, the confidence inspiring comment you made sealed the deal. Enjoy riding your bike.
Love em,Did it come in any cheaper than doing a self build rather than buying a complete bike and oranges upgrade options? Also what length fork did you go for 160mm? Thinking about trying a longer fork on mine just wondered how they handle. Rate mine mate
No didn't come in cheaper, but I wanted to run SRAM over Shimano. I knew if I opted for a factory bike, I'd end up changing parts. The forks are Fox 2011 Talas FIT 150mms.
