Bit of jet washing should clear that. Otherwise all seems champion.

The bike or the wall?
Do your pedals not sit level? Ruins the lines there....
Are you waiting for the normal coloured ones 😉
The bike or the wall?
Why would he be commenting on the bike? Really, standards are slipping...
That paving . . .
Oh no, Thump will want to upgrade his stolen Trance.
You need a pro-bike dispaly stand thing.
That stem's gotta go.
(and are they BMX grips, or am I being all granddad?)

I that so I can prop myself upright...?

I agree. Wheels likely to get swapped for spare Mavic Crossmax's in shed also.
Is that bricked up window on the right or the entrance to a secret tunnel?
No secret tunnel - just old railway embankment that's our garden...

Shhh don't tell him about the exit to our secret tunnel!!
You have a tunnel into my garden? That's how rumour starts...
As above, that wall...
front mech cable routing looks dodgy. Grips, pedals, Hmmmm
that said, lovely bike. Your kid is spoiled! 🙂
Very nice!
Stem to swap, cables are iffy, pedals feel stiff but in a new bearing way - everything else seems ok.
He is a lucky lad for sure...
Very nice (not the wall obviously which needs a good clean).
Valve alignment!
New tyres and get rid of the front mech - you don't want him ridiculed, do you? and it looks ace.

He is a boy who likes to sit and spin, and doesn't do Enduro fashionista.
Nice that!
Stem = Black Race Face Atlas
Shock = Slik graphics stealth decals
Fork = Stealth the larger lower decal and leave the smaller yellow RS logo on though!
Saddle = SDG or Fabric with yellow detailing
I'd go for black pedals and flangeless grips as well.
Job jobbed.
nice ride for the lad.
Overkill for Falkirk but perfect for Comrie.
Nice bike! What are Norco's like? I don't really see them mentioned too much on here. I'm thinking of getting a fluid around xmas time.
AK
Cable to front mech sorted - it had pulled tight a touch, I've added zip tie around seat tube.
Suspension sorted to right pressures, I need to do a lowers service on forks they aren't as supple as I would hope...
Cassette is seized on, so can't currently swap for the lighter wheels. I need a second lever...
He's chosen a ChunkyMonkey 2.4 up front and HansDampf 2.25 rear, both from back of the shed, feels quite monster truck...
@ak121078 - the approved street and local park test approves. It seems well made, some nice details, a tad porky compared to our Radon of same size. Loooong.
