yes, but i didnt want the whole bike to be carbon pattern, so i decided to spray paint it.

My guess is, it's reassembled, that's it. 

Looks good vidariel.

the bike is now finished. i am pretty happy with it, this is my first full suspension ride, i was worried about peddle bob, but it is almost non-existent. the frame seems to hold up for now. let's see how it does long term.
the whole bike weighed in at 13.5kg.

Very cool paint job!

How's the bike holding up? I'm considering one of these as well.

Any creaks or breaks?
