Nice! Did somebody say it's a carbon?

 

No, I dont drink pink drinks or ride plastic bikes...

 

Handlebars are carbon, and most of the groupset though....

Nothing wrong with plastic bikes, hey Crow ;)

Nice ride indeed,

 

One question a little off topic....why are so many top end Fox and RockShox forks white?

I'm okay with it! Was contemplating the carbon handlebar issue again with this build... Got my RF at a clearance sale so almost couldn't say no which helped with the making up of my mind. The Easton is a good call. Great quality and proven tough. Maybe just a tad too narrow for my liking...

It's a model deferentiator.

 

Float = White

Talas = Black (used to be gray)

Vanilla (Coil) = Black

On that, local Rock Shox guys are wiling to, within reason, swap lowers to get you what you want. Fox...not a chance!

yup! Fox Factory (the Kashima ones) don't have as much colour choice as For Performance (the run-of-the-mill ones on OEM bikes).

 

When it comes to Fox Factory, in some cases the only available colour is white. In others it's black.

Than answer is to splash some white in other places, the grips are a good place, they should be white. Why did no-one suggest such an obvious thing?? ;)
