have not whored the bike on here for a while, but here is the big bitch, now complete with a Nukeproof 350lbs spring (thanks to my tank arse needing a stiffer spring!!)

NSW State round back in August last year.

more recent pic. Brakes are now Avid Code R calipers mated to Elixir 9 levers and slapped on a set of 888 CR s that were too good to pass up.

That really is a nice bike, clean and simple, great colour scheme as well.

Made a change to my Mbuzi today by adding a pair of Bos Deville 170 which on first test are a different class completely from the old Fox 36

Ok, the frame looks exactwely the same as the Shova LT.

Im struggling to find any specs/geometry for the Shova LT - head angle on mine seems to be quite steep.

The shova lt has the strut from st to tt but don't think the Izimu does and the shova lt has a straight top tube not formed by the head tube(I think things is right)
Ask Morewood for the old details or ask Patrick on Facebook, he is very friendly and helpful.

Good to see another green Makulu!

But what on Earth have you done with your cables?

Put them through the shock gap, it seems to work fine I've put a ti spring on now and its rubbed a bit of the anodising off but they don't get caught and i think it looks better

Looks awkward to me.
I've got a one-off frame that has the cable guides on the top sides of the down tube. It's Nathan Rennie's 09 Canberra WC frame, which has a 1" longer top tube than the standard large.

Much better than the standard frame's guides that run down the top middle of the down tube!

It's on Page 39.
