This build has been in the works for a while. Rob wanted to go all out building his dream bike. The pleasure of making it a reality was all ours.

Fat Creations absolutely smashed it with the paint job. The sun wasn't playing ball for most of the photoshoot except for this one shot.

Rob gave Ali a prime position to leave his mark after many many hours of work.

Hope brakes have long been a favourite. A couple of subtle tweaks with the colours of the adjuster screws and some black braided hoses and fittings from Goodrige.

This sight is becoming more and more familiar on both DH bikes and trial bikes. For good reason. This particular shock, like the damper in the fork has had the custom tune treatment from Plush Suspension.

That's a new lightweight spring from Ohlins. Fitting a non yellow spring is just bad manners.
