Hi chaps,
 Heres my XPX still a bit muddy from todays ride, had it from new (well Mrs Tel did) And I`ve found it to be the perfect place to put all my biking toys on carbon seat post, selle SLR flame saddle, carbon bars and bar ends, carbon stem,(I`m a carbon tart) X-racelite wheels, tubeless tyres (as recomended by Grimjack) XTR peddles, rapid desent springs

 Oh did anyone else go for the house rabit(Twigglet) option? ;D
Cheers, Tel.

Hi Simon!

I think I've saved your pics on my drive (and al lot of other pics from here,too).
I'll have a look and send them to you.

Wow!
Wasn't here for a long time and now all my pics are gone, too.

BTW i dig that 862!!! purple! ;)



this one is interesting, i think.....circa 1998 race proflex bike used in pro races  (strut with EVO frame) never made it into mainstream production

full XTR stuff....i added a carbon riser bar and a fat arse seat, risse genesis (OMG) it came with an Nr1 and Ti springs (shovelon ownes the Ti spring now)  srill run a steel spring and Nr on the front......size WAYBIG she is ridden on easy stuff but she is a dream come true....i may add disc but....

This looks and sounds like the bike Nora Rosche rode in the thread I started a while ago. Hers would have been a smaller size but looks exactly right. Even down to the NR1 with TI spring. Wonder how many of these were made?
