Had a bit of time in the cave tonight, managed a few bits but still waiting on a couple of bits   If anyone has a cheap 30.9 dropper let me know. The oval chairing is on back order, sods law because I paid extra for next day delivery on the chain. |

Update: Did a couple of bits friday night and saturday, Trimmed the hoses to a better length,  and popped the cranks on, then realised that the Absolute black spideless chain ring i'd ordered is going to be wrong, good job they are out of stock of both.  so emailled them asking them to swap it for a standard 104BCD.

Fitted this and gave her a  maiden voyage last night, needs a bit of tuning and brakes need a bit more fluid as too much travel on levers

It's dirty, I need a new one  Sorted the brakes (more fluid sorted that) and the sag, had to put about 40psi extra in the rear shock (that's why it felt so squidgy last night) looking forward to trying it out properly |

Looking good mate, getting some project bike envy  I'm looking, but the right frame for the right price hasn't come up yet.

Thanks mate Hahaha, im pretty certain this time that its going to stay like this for the rest of it days. Im hoping ive sanded it down far enough so that next time i go Epping on it one of the tubes snap, so ill have to get a new frame |
