    Default Another New Bike

    Been after something full suspension for a while but been deliberating on what to get. Ended up getting a Trek Fuel EX 8 after rave reviews constantly. Didn't like the spec of the complete bikes so managed to get a frame on its own and put some decent components on it off my old Pace.

    Cheeky iPhone picture of it this morning as it was only rideable after last night. New tyres should show up this week and needs a new front shifter as the springs have collapsed but everything else works a charm.

    Very slick, what forks are you running? Look like Manitoy due to the bridge being behind the forks. Are they carbon or is that design? And is that a RP23 rear shock? I have a Float R on mine which I was considering upgrading to a RP23.

    Rear shock is a Fox RP2, plush as so far. Forks are Pace RC41 XCAM with new seals, bearings and rebuilt by a guy who used to work for Pace, great bit of British technology. They have carbon legs and magnesium hardware. Very light compared to the Marzocchi All Mountain 2s I used to run. 120mm on rear and 130 on front and feels very balanced.
