    Well what can I say really.

    In the never ending search for perfection for the Blade I have ended up buying a Ohlins shock for the bike.
    After speaking to SPS on here after he bought his from Kyle Racing over in the States I eventually plumped up the cash and bought the Ohlins TTX mkII shock the same as he had.

    Here's a small pic just incase :)

    What happened next though was a bit of a surprise, as he offered me a set of forks that are suited for my bike (very sneaky of him), at a very reasonable price that I just couldn't say no to.

    So I also now have a set of FGRT813 forks on their way over the pond as we speak.

    Another piccy :)

    Can't wait to try these out with all the other bits added to the bike and get some decent photos taken of it once it's finished.

    They'll need to be a bit harsh for my lardy ass Arthur :)
    Though I'll get it all properly set up for road riding once fitted.

    I just laughed to myself thinking of how my Blade looked for 6 months when it was literally held together with gaffer tape, cable ties and had def. seen better days and you spend more on bling - what's next on the list ? Carbon wheels ?
