clicky

i didn't mind the crankset so much, but when i saw pic's of the rear mech, i thought it looked awful, now i've seen it in it's rightful place, i must say, it looks quite good!
looks like an inverse XO IMO
Or maybe not that nice then :)

I hope they've increased the BB height on the latest FS bikes. My 05 World Cup FS needed new rockers to raise it and make the linkage more progressive.

Haven't had my Fugitif frame for long, first real shake down was Day 1 of the TransWales, brave :) ... My experience of the frame so far is that it climbs "extremely" well, bit sketchy on bumpy decents but then I expected that with only 80mm of travel and 50psi. I did have one problem during the week, one of the allen bolts holding the carbon stays to the seat stays came loose, very good design meant I could still ride it, my Multi-tool was too big to get in there to tighten the bolt I needed a normal L-shaped allen key. I'll get some locktight on it shortly. I used, XT gearing, Hope brakes, Easton kit, and Reba forks. I'm 5ft11 and the frame is a 20inch.
