Can't believe your going to strip that stunner down for bits Wot wheels you fitting on it as its a 650b frame Both frames are 26" so the wheels will fit. Got to look at the rear wheel as it stated it was a through axel but the one thats on it has a quick release? Was expecting white pikes, but black will look better with the vivid air rear shock.

The donor looks sex. Not a fan of the alpine, it's one heavy beast. Are you getting a new purple helmet to match the bike? The bikes for my lad, he likes the look of it! As for it being heavy, it's about 4kg with the shock and bb fitted. I don't think he will go for a purple helmet, he's not into colour coordinated outfits. He usually wears his old footy shorts and shirt and bmx helmet when out on the bike.

Just needs a seat clamp and some cable clips to finish. Ordered these yesterday from crc. Need to sort the red out on the wheels also, spoils it IMO.

Speaking as a non orange fan, that looks superb mate. Great colour and really suits the bike. Great job.

Was the 456 the top of the range jobbie? XX1, Pikes and Guides? If I could have afforded that it may well have won over the Zero, though I wanted 650b too, tbh. What are you doing with the frame?

Yes the 456 was the top spec. I might sell the frame although I'm tempted to keep it, I've got some nice industry nine wheels and some rockshox revelation World Cup forks that would go on it.

Looks good. Love the colour!

The shock is close, but doesn't foul the frame. Haven't seen another orange with the same shock yet.

Damn I love that bike. whole colour scheme is great, I wouldn't get rid of the red on the wheels though, it ties in with the red o-rings on the shocks.
