I have seen this bike in a heap of pics and each time i think "oh man dont sell it" .....this is a dream bike you have and every time i see it it looks better.I take it that you didnt get the Orange Patriot and while i like that bike i think this is much better.....keep the build going how you are doing it bro,no comprimise and once it is done and the riding season starts you will fall in love all over again...so stoked for you mate

You not got cranks at the mo?

If you want the best get RF Sixc sooo nice. Just a bit expensive haha.

Mikeyc1988 (Mar 25, 2013 at 11:26)

Already got Saint M820 cranks bud, just had to replace my pressfit BB though hence why these werent installed at the same time. Just bought a road cassette also and some Enve bars

Good god just finish her already

Mikeyc1988 (Mar 25, 2013 at 9:52)

Funds are limited due to other financial commitments. Would rather buy top end parts than skimp on certaion things but once done, it will be savage!

thebillygoat6000 (Mar 25, 2013 at 10:07)

I know what you mean full well, and I really can't wait to see it all done, this almost gets me as excited to see as my bike

Mikeyc1988 (Mar 25, 2013 at 11:27)

Haha will be finished in no time bud! I can see the finish date in sight,,,

thebillygoat6000 (Mar 25, 2013 at 11:32)

Mikeyc1988 (Mar 25, 2013 at 11:26)

I've gone for the offset ones Didn't think they were bad for the money

Mikeyc1988 (Apr 5, 2013 at 13:18)

They are good mate but I wasn't happy with the machining of mines. The ones on my status were perfect, these ones weren't perfect (maybe my standards are too high)

mattygee020671 (Apr 5, 2013 at 14:25)

These are fine only problem I had was the front ally spacers needed to be 15 mm dia but were 17mm so he's sending out the new ones for free to fit the ccdb

raked.

Mikeyc1988 (Mar 25, 2013 at 12:51)

Impressed by the change mate! Actually fallen back in love with it!

jizzy-b (Mar 25, 2013 at 12:55)

is that with the offset bushings in?

Mikeyc1988 (Mar 25, 2013 at 13:01)

Yeah bud, burgtecs at the rear. Its a hell of a lot slacker now! Bike was propped against a fence at a angle so if it was sitting perfectly straight, the angle will be seen better

jizzy-b (Mar 25, 2013 at 13:41)

can see it now bro, i am askiung cause i am jelly. i want em too now.

Mikeyc1988 (Mar 25, 2013 at 13:42)

I would recommend going for the Burgtec ones buddy (like i have). Ok they are double teh price of the offsetbushings equivalent but the quality difference is staggering

jizzy-b (Mar 25, 2013 at 13:45)

linky please.

polish the lowers

Mikeyc1988 (Apr 3, 2013 at 12:12)

Good idea but i dont know how magnesium reacts to being polished compared to aluminium? Im sure it will tarnish quicker. If it was easy, i probably would get them polished

Kop5 (Apr 3, 2013 at 13:02)

Well it would make it look even sicker!!

Kop5 (Apr 3, 2013 at 17:41)

It seemed to work for this guy but I would have done more polishing. also if you clear coated it it probably would be fine.
