love it and it will look even better when you get your shock on it. I do agree with what you have said above tho and I don't think the bars or stem suit it, luckily people love the renthal stuff and you will get money back on them both think a more "sleek/delicate" looking stem would suit the frame looks more and all black stem and bar would match the frames yellow to black colour I have a black stem and bar that the bike came with, but I spent a lot (to me anyway) of money on these bars and stem, and they are really really nice. I might keep them for now and migrate them to my On One after a while when I can afford/justify some ENVE bars. The photo makes them look worse than they do in real life though. I can live with it.

I could, but I'd rather spend the money on a reverb stealth if the buyer of my Mega want's the reverb that's on there. Plus it ain't gonna float with the other half! Yes, I'm under the thumb, it's the easiest place live!

I've now had chance to take a half decent picture of the bike. I've had the shock back from my LBS and fitted it to the frame. It looks the bees knee's now. On the downside, he had his tail in between his legs as the brand new X Fusion has slipped out of the vice and now has a gouge in the shock body. It's costing him over £100 for the new part and I have to wait a week before the mega is ready to sell

When the OH is out I do actually ride up it and do a drop off on it. You just have to brake hard otherwise I'd run into the chickens!

Could do with updated update pic's now as it has the Reverb on and black Hope floating rotors! The cassette is an 11-42T with an E13 expander ring, 34T RaceFace narrow wide up front so has a decent range. I think I will buy a smaller one for when I do Snowdon though!

My new project is either going to be the 2015 meta SX or your frame but in black and yellow with bos deville front and kirk back shock . bargain for 1500 and 1700 respectively , is the devilles worth it over the pikes , the pikes are £70 less , just cant make my mind up as its 26 or 27.5 and i already got everything for a 26in build , if i go M4 then its new wheels too .but then would go superstar wide wheels if i go 650b.

And this is coming from someone who likes superstar stuff, heaven forbid what Adam is gonna do to you What about a set of Light Bicycle carbon rims? 31.6mm internal, 38mm external, $180 each, which is about £240 for the two, plus shipping which is another £20 or so... Mount them up onto a set of Hubs from Hope, or if you must, Superstar, and you'd have a set of light, strong, wide wheels for not alot! You know you want too!
