Lovely 🙂
Very, very nice. I've gone all damp.
Fence needs treatment.
But, oh my that looks lovely!
Wowsa!
That really is lovely 😛
Ritcheys always make me go a bit soft at the knees! Gorgeous bike, what does she weigh?
Close ups of the drop outs are required!
Apart from the rim stickers that is awesome
I would normally say "now go out and get it Dirty" But I don't want it dirty !
Very nice Indeed.
That is just lovely!
Cheers all..
Everyone - think its knocking around the 22lbs mark.. was more of a tight budget on this bike so could have been much lighter??
Rocketdog - Totally hear you on the rims.. they are painted rather than stickers.. was original after a hope wheelset but these came up at a good price!
Russell96 - will sort something out today 🙂
Lovely.
Really nice bike. I hope you've grown a "Tom Ritchey" to accompany it.

Yea that's really nice! Pretty good weight but I reckon you could get it lighter, I've got a P-650b that's built up around 23lbs but that's geared etc.
Oooooofff! That is magnificent!

If I'm not going to pay the price or can't peel it off I use one of these

Very nice if it were mine I'd look into getting the forks powdercoatec red to match the front section of the frame.
Bloody lovely
if it were mine I'd look into getting the forks powdercoated [s]red[/s] blue to match the front section of the frame.
Very nice
the close up pics just make it look even better, if that was possible. long live skinny steel!
Nice details. Long forks!
unovolo - someone has gone one further and done the complete blend!!

everyone - yep easy make lighter when funds allow 🙂
oxym0r0n - Yep fork length is equivalent 100mm suspension forks (try to get similar setup to my main bike)
That does look fantastic. Lucky you!
I bloody love mine.
That fork does look tall though?
Here mine, bit muddy mind!
Does have a big tyre in there but clearance looks similar to the lovely colour match pic above??

Very nice bike xcstu.
Have they stopped doing that classic colourway for 2015?
rexated - thats a good question with the colour ways for 2015..
When I saw someone was looking to sell one on stw and in that colour way just had to have! Top bloke too.. see the new one in black and yellow 🙁 seems wrong haha.. also got a new rear end which not sure will works as well for ss?
austinburner - what sort of gearing you running? very new to ss! cracking pics!! looking forward to getting mine out on some trails 🙂
Xcstu, running a 11-36 xt block & 32 NW ring with xt clutch mech.
Blown away by this setup, no fuss, gearing fine for climbing in wales & not dropped the chain once.
