Nice, really nice. If I hadn't got a really good deal on a TRc, that's what I'd have had!

Very very nice, glad you chenahed the tyres as they weren't lined up properly.

Yeah I was after a Bandit and this is similar maybe better also it was on a hell of a deal.
Stands me in just under £500.
Fathomer what length stem you running?
Thinking of reducing mine to a 50 or 60mm depending on how it wonders uphill.

Nice...that was on my list in the event I couldnt get a bandit too.

Frame or full/part build?

70mm, never had any wandering, have considered going shorter but feels spot on with 750mm bars. And that's with 140mm forks.

I thought the TR went uphill better than the Bandit and down just as well. The Bandit was very good though and was sorely tempted.

Wow, what size are those wheels?!!!! Must be 1999.

Seriously though, that's stealthy awesomeness. Well done. 🙂

And sort out your saddle angle.

That looks sooooo nice. I would get rid of the tires though...well the rear for sure, it's not going to work too well in mud.

How do you know?

Someone could have given it to him. 😉 Or maybe he stole it! 😯

I was very very close to buying one of them and that was the intention when I got all the gold hope kit going for a John Player Special F1 car look but the LTc just got in there!!
