Looks very playful that. Nice and slack, but adjustable forks must mean climbing's alot easier! Whats it weigh in at? Looks pretty heavy duty
You'll love the 1x10... Cant remember if you had it on the On One, but trust me, after a few rides, it will be alot easier and it will make perfect sence!

Thanks mate, I originally had a 1x9 on a 32t front then moved to a 2x9. Always wanted back to a simpler set-up so now's the time  Yea it's pretty mental to what I'm used to, haven't weighed it up yet but I don't think it's too much heavier than the On One, don't think I want to either haha! |

Thanks guy, yes managed to get it picked up by a mate just outside Aberdeen who then took it to the opposite side of Scotland for me  all for the great sum of £700. Now completed the cranks overhaul, its looking very clean and less cluttered with my good old Sunline V1 pedals. Will get a shot up when I can. |

Been pretty quite onhere recently, just havent had the time tbh. So here's a wee update, changed the stem today, wasn't keen on the look of the big white chunk and a mate just got a new stem for his Fritzz  Looks way better i think, kinda matches the RF Atlas bars, it is very slightly longer but hopefully won't make too much of a differece. Also put new grips on, will need to get matching lockrings as the red doesn't look right. |
