here's my commencal mini dh when i first built her up last year it had the wrong shock on it when i got it
my commencal supreme mini dh
heres a pic of the new shock
photo
then i was in need for a new stem as my trusty 05 husslefelt stem had pulled the thread out of one of its clamping holes
photo
then it was time for a dropper post and i gave my fork service and changed it to 170mm also upgraded the front brake to a avid code calliper but no pics of this yet.
Commencal supreme mini dh Marozocchi bomber 66vf 170mm Fox float rp23 Slx crank arms Slx derailer Fire eye rim dmr revolver hub Dmr dv wheel Gusset broadmoor bars Fun stem Avid juicy 7 s Maverick dropper post
it was time for a change to a decent fork so managed to snap this up for a good deal
photo
then my cheapy dropper post gave up and i got a nice set of wide funn fatbars for xmas with 7mm rise also treated myself to a charge spoon seat and the pedal are superstar nano thru pins which i got for b day. i managed to get hold of a set old avid codes for next to nothing so i put one of the calipers on the rear.

Okay so I got some new shit on the glory, and some new rims coming next week.

But it's kinda gone like this

Average shot of my bike built back up
It s all coming together now and when she moves out I will have my room back
Coming along very nicely now D
Commencal V3 just been put back together
New mud guard fitted. Owners of V3 s who don t want to spend 35 quid on the one the sell this will hopefully work just fine. Got one for the front too. New main pivot bearings fitted feels good to have smooth bearings for once

Slowly getting there with my Hornet. Ive had it since October and the only thing ive changed is the Superstar bars and stem. Just got round to getting my SLX drivetrain and brakes, which still haven't been put on yet. Next some new forks, wheels and a Reverb! Here's a nice shot of the colour anyway.

May I also make a point that I never built this up from scratch with parts on it now. They came off my old hacker bike haha
