Very nice XC rocket there. To rate it around 5 is totaly unjustified, it ain't no Halfords bike!

Ok but looks a bit messy, would look better with blue or grey forks

I thought 5 was harsh too! Thanks for your comments!

Funnily enough thomasali only considered my CB to be "ok" and worthy of just 5 points too. Without doubt your XC racer and kit IS superior to my ride, you've got an excellent racing machine there, so I am suprised he only rated you a 5.

Never heard anyone call it messy before.........blue forks would look good though, but the only SIDs in blue are the carbon ones which cost a fortune!
