custom rockshox argyle 302
24seven superfat cranks
dmr dv wheels
hope mini brake ect

How exactly are the "custom" Argyles?

because there white and 302 only come in black and there reduced to 80mm

So OEM models are "custom" now are they? And any body with some sense can reduce them to 80mm, as the kit comes with the forks.

I always got the impression you gargled with petrol in the mornings to combat plaque - this almost makes you carbon neautral !

I'm very disappointed.

Sorry, i don't understand here. I don't know what arguement is about to majorly brew, but, 302 comes in black 'off the shelf' i.e in a shop. You'll be able to get them in white if they're OEM. Meaning they're original equipment i.e supplied with a bike.

So the custom part is cause you've shortened the travel yea?

Sorry, this has confused the C**p outta me!

Quick question.
Do you understand what custom means? Personalising something. Making it your own. Have you made them your own? No, because the lowering kit comes with them meaning any body with a little bit of sense can lower them.

So, therefore, they are not custom, and this arguement is pointless you arguing.

Thanks for pointing that out. You can actually get them in every colour, the 302's in mint, black and white, as with the 318's and the 409's. Hard to find certain colours of some though.

Well I guess I can add to this thread now that I picked up my bike today.

Haven't ridden for years so bought an entry level mountain bike for now, all the reviews seem good enough.

So bought a Claud Butler Cape Wrath d24 seems nice enough.

Am about to go out on my first ride of many years, so I'm bounded to be in serious pain later lol

[Daveuk]
