180mm frame with a 150mm fork? Odd setup choice

Its a bobbly dazzler running lowish. My reg why? The frames 6yrs old, scratched up, rear mech is 11yrs old, saddles knackered, cranks are cosmetically passed it etc etc.

re reg - people tend to cover them up or edit the pics to prevent cloning.

How does this prevent cloning?

Was it expensive Hora?

Everyone I know with one rates them highly,
I'd love to see what all the fuss is about.

Car going well?

I've signed into Flickr and still can't see the bloody thing.

On that basis, I'll apply some STW ignorance and just say it's shit now.

I like that it all looks really up to date, apart from the stickers on the 55s which are like something off a 70s motorbike. Nice though! Do like a patriot even when it's the wrong colour.

Other issues with reg numbers on the internet is it's not difficult to find out your address from that, and people could watch your activity to know what bikes you keep at home and when your on holiday/at work.

What method did you use to apply your [s] electrical tape [/s] frame protection, Pin the tail on the donkey?
What does it ride like with 170s?

Rate my bike?
Are you 12?

Go on then I'll rate it.
It looks like a fat****er has worn the seat out sitting on it at home while preserving the paintwork by not actualy riding it outside over any pebbles.

Forks are sweet, but if it's anything like when I got my Marzocchis, they'll be so good it'll show up the rear shock.

Hmmmm good point. Even if its only pushed up once in a ride theres still alot of gritstone round here to collect under it.

looks good Hora....leave it at 170mm and you'll be fine or wait until the 100 spacer is eventually released.
you do need a new saddle though...i've got a wtb rocket v knocking about in the shed if you're interested...its in silver though but you can have it for a very cheap as chips price! 😉
