As promised, more shots for you. Arrival, out of the box all I had to do was chuck the wheels on, straighten and tighten the bars and stem, put air in the forks - then good to go!  Few bits, nice multi tool - not sure about the bell and reflectors - probably give them to Ergaz for his road bike   First look...  Up on the stand to index the gears - need't have bothered - perfectly set up  Really like the Raceface gear and the Zee   Last two shots...   The bike was really well put together, checked it all with a torque wrench, rides fabbo. Dirk, whether you get the Zero 1, 2 or 3 you won't be disappointed if you are after a fun, rideable and chuckable HT. Climbs great for a 1x10 and the front end is lovely and light. |

I think you should fit the bell end reflector |

Love everything about it, jealous of your through axle rear end too.
Actually, needs a dropper...?

Timbo it's the only thing I think it's lacking, just didn't have the funds right now and didn't want a reverb anyway. Soon as funds allow it'll be having a KS LEV on there. Bike just feels so capable and in the hands of a better rider than me would be a proper trail weapon.

Looks well capable and well specced! If I'm honest I don't like the colour and the stickers, reminds of a repainted stolen bike with hand made stickers. Please don't take offence as other than that it's pretty mint!

I don't like the look either. I like the paint but not the overall look.
It does ride nicely though and them there forks are pretty good too.
The bike is all about fun. Just chuck it where you like and it copes.
Bit of a bargain too.

I seem to excel in liking the not pretty bikes. I don't take offence, in fact, the very opposite, I enjoy reading/hearing opinions even anti ones. Like the Chief, not the most attractive of bikes to everyone, but it rides like a champ.
I do obviously like how it looks but much more importantly, I've got a very well specced and capable bike for a bargain price and built exactly to the spec I wanted. I'm chuffed with it.
Tyres Hodgy, due to work only ridden once but first impressions on a dry day was how much faster the combo rolls than the HD's. Grip felt excellent too, be interesting to see how they go in the wet. On a dry Dog though, they outgunned the HD's ,mainly due to the much better drag factor.

Jay, best thing about the forks? They make the same 'sucking' noise that your BOS' s do. I lyk.  |

Thanks Zulu.
Looks great in the sun light.
Build quality sounds impressive and so does the attention to detail.
Really like the looks - the long low top tube gives it an agressive look.
