WOW! For £700 that sounds like an amazing deal!!

Have you got any pictures of the bike?

Only what was used to list it on Ebay - don't know how or where to upload them though. I don't mind emailing them if your interested?

The whole bike is going to get a good service, but not before I take it for it's maiden ride this weekend. Can't wait, i'm like a kid with a new toy, just itching to have a go. Not only that but most of my kit is really old, so i've bought all new stuff - and some spud shoes which i've never used - should be fun!

Without pics it doesn't exist.



Bloody people won't let me get away without posting that "need pics" thing on every stinking page.

Wonder if there is a way to sticky that at the top of every page of a thread ...

That's fine, understandable - just aswell i've just found PinkBike.com, follow the link:

My REAL Bike

As I said, all pics where taken by the previous owner and listed on Ebay, and I can't take any credit for the bike, at the time the chap was selling a Pace with similiar spec which went for £1200.

Thoughts Please

Always liked those Mantra frames...... Dont like the yellow seat much though, think you should replace that, looks like a nice bit of kit though!

I'm glad you like your new bike...that design makes my head hurt though

I really hope you leveled out that seat since you got it.

My new steed. Just got her yesterday. I'm just waiting for my gold Hadley rear hub and Mag 30 rim. Check out the welds. I want to ride her right away, but my LBS is having a hard time getting the hub . Anybody wanna lend me their rear wheel w/ 150mm 12mm thru?

ohhhhhhh

As my arse is so big, and the seat is under it, i won't be changing the seat, no one will see the icky yellow anyway. I won't be having the seat post that high or at that angle, so yes, i have levelled it out. I think i was really lucky to find this bike, as i like yellow, and wanted a bike with a funky out of the ordinary look to it, and hey presto.

Man that thing looks sweet! If you don't mind me asking, what is the price you paid for the frame?

Burly Surly

• 35 lbs
• Alex downhill rims, Hugi hubs, Hayes disc brakes, DH tires ...about 8 lbs per wheel
• Rigid fork
• Hefeweizen ...errr... Husselfelt... err ... THICK cranks
• Chromoly bars, original chromoly Salsa stem

Well, I just had to post pics of my bike, but since it isn't a 'real' mtb I wasn't sure where to post it. But hey, here goes:



Lowered the bars btw, I got tired of that granny position

That Speed Stuff boot, i guess that's to stop crap and the like getting on/in to your forks. Does it work? How much? Where from?

Thank You

"Lizard Skins" used to make shock covers and chainstay protecters. Same deal...its a neoprene cover that keeps the crud out. Yeah, it works pretty much.

can anyone point me in the right direction on how to post my pic? i've tried and for some reason i couldn't get it to work.
just a heads up i have a mountain cycle "rumble" set up for freeride..........

Upload your pics here. https://imageshack.us/index3.php
then "Go advanced" and click on the yellow thing that looks like mountains and the sun. Insert the link in the pop up and repeat until all your pics are up

Well, to be entirely honest with you, i haven't got my bike dirty yet
But I expect them to work, they were about €15,- (+/- 17/20 USD)

What he said.
