Finally got a new fork. I think the bike turned out pretty hot, what do you reckon?

Pretty nice black combo, but first thing noticed- seatpost color, replace it with something black and would be completely ready.

Don't want to downgrade to aluminium. I'd change it if there were light aluminium I-Beam compatible seatposts available, but I haven't heard of any.

Don't take it harshly, but I think it's got a little too much bling for stealthy looks, renthal bars,maxxis tyres, and chainstay guard need sorting in my opinion

I'll give you that, the chainstay guard needs to gtfo. Any reliable way to black out the writing on the tyres?

But I do like Boxxers for a murdered out build, how are they riding from new?

Yeah that's what I usually use, but it gets sort of blue/purple-ish after a while. I wonder if spray paint would do the trick...

The Boxxer is surprisingly smooth compared to my previous 2010 one. It's just the RC model and it feels heaps smoother than the old one with an Avalanche cart, which says a lot. Feels really good, which is not what I was expecting. Of course, it's going to be fitted with the Avalanche cartridge soon and it's shaping up to be a fantastic fork.

Did you go 27.5? or is that the 26 version?

I just went 27.5 with mine. Just need some wheels now! I think I sold my old WC boxxer so that should pay for wheels.

That's the 26. I didn't want to risk spoiling the geometry by putting bigger wheels than intended by the manufacturer. My next bike is damn sure going to be 650b.

What lenght of rear brake hose is suitable for Summum 2013 size M ? Mine has 145cm and I will have frame tommorow. I am wondering if it will reach, or should I order a new longer hose ?

Mine L sized frame is equipped with 150mm brake hose. I think 145mm for your M size is a good way to go

My M-sized 2012 frame has a 165cm hose. Maybe 1st gen frames needed longer ones...
