Mega for a Mega (LAST UPDATE BEFORE BUILD)

We're not really talking about the official trails.. The natural trials are a very mixed bag and include some fairly tight squeezes! There are only really two tight spots on the marked trails at Cannock Chase!

What iRide says. The natural stuff around the Cannock trails is great, I love it. Lots better than the marked trails. And yes a lot of it involves shooting down some very tight wooded singletrack.

All those in favor of binning this thread or moving it to the readers ride section say AYE !! 15 pages and nothing's been put together!

Just a quick update..

Forks and wheels all ordered. Both will be around 2 weeks!

Saddle also ordered.

So now I have all the parts I need to complete the bike... And sooner than expected (assuming wheels and forks are delivered when expected)!

I thought this thread was getting deleted but as it hasn't, it would have been rude not to update you all!

What wheels?

Come on when are you going to start building it mate we want pics

But it's a start mate won't be long till it's finished 

How's the build going? As I mentioned before, save your money on the Enve rims and get mavics, look bad ass

Pmsl 

And the bottle holder 

Bit pi**ed off about this build now..

Woke up this afternoon to an e-mail from Stif saying that they don't have any idea when the forks will be with me! They are waiting for a BOS delivery and it was expected in the middle of this week (4th Feb) but, in their words, "there's no sign of it and we have no idea when it's coming".

I'm looking around now for other stockists in the UK..

Wheels.. When I ordered the wheels they let me know that they didn't have stock of the hubs I wanted and they would need to order them. It on;y takes a couple of days they said.. Anyway, they have been sent the hubs but, instead of the 142 x 12 that was ordered, they were sent a 157 x 12.. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

So, probably won't get the wheels now until the arse end of next week. Mind you, without forks, it's not a problem!

I'm still going to start nailing it all together on Tuesday and/or Wednesday and I promise I'll have some pictures for you!

I really wanted the bike for Snowdon but, at the moment, I'm not sure it'll be ready..

I've got Whinlatter on the 28th and I doubt it'll be ready for then.

Yeah, Snowdon isn't the main concern really. It would have been nice to have it for Whinlatter but I don't think I will unless I can find some forks somewhere!

The wheels really aren't a concern, they'll be here late next week or early the week after. Stif couldn't say when the forks are likely to appear though.
