The Bike...
My Bike as it is now

My bike is now a hybrid, I've built it over time, about the only original parts these days are the Frame and the back wheel. At the moment I am thinking of changing the Frame for a Titanium hardtail frame, and have just put a new chain-set and gearing onto it. Oh and also I want to upgrade to disc brakes at the rear too. At the moment the front wheel is a Mavic free-ride F219 black, with black spokes and a Hope XC hub, fitted with a Hope 185mm Closed 2 disc. My forks are 2001 Manitou X-Vert, with the dampening on its lowest setting. Ive got lightweight XC handlebars, Prodigy Raceface stem, and an FSA headset.

 
The frame is still a GT steel (heavy) frame, with a Mavic 138 back wheel and Avid single digit 7 back Vee's, I tend to go for Michelin wildgripper tyres and use On Your Bike bike shop for any repairs/servicing which I wouldn't like to attempt. I do servicing on my bike every few weeks, and clean it up / full lube after every ride. Oh its also got Shimano SPD pedals, with the alloy cage to make them just usable without SPD shoes.

My Bike as it was in March

Well I've just finished maintaining the bike again,  I did some more maintenance on my bike stripping it down and totally rebuilding it. Now its got an XT chain set and also had a full de-grease and re-lube at the same time. Will be looking to test it as soon as I can.
