Is there any advantage to having a mesh headtube logo, other than allowing water into the frame?

Nice looking bike though.

weight saving

I am going to put some bike tape behind it.

Saweet new frame! Is your t2 gone yet?

weescott · 18 Jan 2013 at 19:57

Head tube of mud.

Good idea getting a HT though. Helps you climb...maybe.

Just means you can jet wash the bearings after each ride keep them clean

Im dieing to get out on my meta AM1 for a first ride, go away snow!!!

Put a new rear gear cable in today as it was done to short when it arrived causing it to snag on the front of the frame when turning the bars, bit gutted something like this was missed on such a expensive bike but only took me an HOUR to change. Internal cable routing looks nice but my god its a pain in the bum if you haven't done it before, cranks needed to come off and front forks!

Has to be Orange DMR Vaults, the blue pins will match perfectly!

weescott · 18 Jan 2013 at 22:17
