Got a new winter project on the go while I'm broken.

With the Tranny going to G to live out its life going slowly and being covered in GT85 constantly.

So the wife needed a new ride not to use and I fancied something XC Agro.

Still going to need a few bits like drive train and brakes.

Saracen Mantra Carbon and a set of pikes are winging their way here. Image

Ooh I do like a nice set of WTB's....

Is that a boost fork..??

No not a boost fork, completely pointless (boost that is)
the WTB rims get a good write up, not yet convinced on the hubs. (Goldtec???)

Post subject:  Re: Project bikes

I only asked as the fork looked boost in first pic with frame.. :)

Hubs are probably re-branded Novatec...!!
