Thats about it

Just ride local cross country and many trips to the Lake District. I just cleaned my Kik hence its so shiny I have owned a few bikes Trek 7000, 8500, FSR, Santa Cruz. This Kik is the best ever. I built it from the frame up and can never see myself parting with it. Although I may build a Stinky for some jump fun. Although I have taken this Kik over some massive drops 5f+. Im pretty heavy(14st), and it has taken them all.

Let me know what you think.

Just purchased a Hope Mono 180mm for the front. Im pretty heavy and the B4 doesnt give me much stopage on big slopes.

Ill post pics when its on.

I may be selling my Kik soon though

A baby is on the way and we need the money and room.

Any Ideas on value ??

Nice to see someone taking such good care of their bike. A clean bike will perform better and last longer.

I like my bike to look good. TBH 3 hours before this it looked like a chunk of mud. I just cleaned it.

I love this Kik now and still havnt finished upgrading, Azonic CF's next.

I have done some pretty big drops on this and its dropped like a DH. Im 13 Stone aswell so no light weight.

Im bidding on a Stab and Santa Cruz V10 on Ebay so I may have my DH bike soon. To give the Kik a rest.
