8.8/10 for the Spec Enduro. I like the colour coordination but its bonkers at the same time!

This is my new 2017 Instinct BC Ed. Mostly stock, minus the tires, saddle, stem and a few odds and ends.

slick.

8.5/10

those yetis look incredible, id give the turqoise one a 9/10, personally like the factory fox look better, give the yellow one a 8/10 really sweet but i personally dont like that color too much, that element looks really sweet, a solid 9.5/10 in my books, love the color!

heres my current project bike: a commencal meta amv3 essential
lyrik fork with vorsprung luftkappe
spank wheels on formula hubs built by richard at pro wheel builder with special spokes.
orange nukeproof electron evo pedals ( i like plastic becasue it doesn't scratch the color off)
dmr brendog death grips
bran x ascend dropper
size xl frame
sram level t brakes
sram nx drivetrain
gross monarch rt3 (for now)
wtb volt comp saddle

its a pretty budget oriented build but i plan on hope tech 3 e4 brakes (orange or black) and a cane creek inline air and possibly the helm fork out front

I was so happy with my v3 i put a pre-order on the new furious in the OD green Big Grin

brotha groove now on spotify

still not sure whether orange hope brakes would be too much or if i should play it safe with the black brakes, i also got a set of spank spike vibrocore bars on the way

The luftkappe is sweet, I took out a token because it added some ramp up but it really makes the fork feel frictionless, I run about 25% sag with 1.5 tokens and it doesn't dive and always feels really controlled with a buttery smooth initial stroke

Nice. Can't wait to try mine. Did you install it yourself? Any complications during the process? I'm a cheap f*ck and did not order the clapms. Hope an old inner tube will work the same.

Nice Commencal man, digging the black/orange. Here is my 2016 Kona Process 153. Just finished up my build on it. Will eventually go internal on a dropper, just no need until the current one craps out.

8/10 for the Commie, nice build I just don't like coloured spokes.
Another 8 for the Kona, nice kit and I like the blacked out suspension. I'm just not a huge fan of those frames

My One One 456, only changes from the standard GX build are: Salt bmx grips (didn't like the old ones and these were £3 a pair), DMR defy stem, Cotic fender, Carbon cycles pedals, Charge spoon, Hope seat clamp (a qr I've converted to bolt) and I've just got a Funn updown dropper. I couldn't find many reviews on the Funn dropper so just ask if you want to know how it is... So far it goes up and down and has a really nice lever for the price-This is the first dropper I've ridden.

I ordered there kit and followed the install instructions and it was a piece of cake, I'm no stranger to cracking open forks but with there instructions it's not rocket science, it's also a good time to clean or replace seals and add new oil to make the fork an entirely different beast

Love a good quality hardtail, the 456 looks like it would be a lot of fun 8/10.

I've made a few changes to my Nicolai G16 in order to tone it down a bit, it was a very loud and shout colour scheme.

Before

LBS have WhatsApp d some photos probably come out in low resolution but you ll get the gist

After

Project De-Bling

What do you reckon?
