HEres one with black forks. Grips are Yeti turqoise, but look a bit green in the pic. Love the reduced complexity of 1x9 with a widgit.
Went tubeless today, all is good.

This is my Avanti Vapour 2.6, have changed the stock tyres and pedals, put on a hydraulic seatpost (which has been great!). Only got it in December and have been trying to go offroad at leasat two to three times a month. Also went in the Mont24 (my first ever MTB event) which was a real buzz!

Hi KOM.
Nice looking bike. The photo looks like Faulconbridge Point.

Shimano 105 clipless pedals and Shimano Ultegra front derailuer. Up front it uses an ITM headset, the stem and bars are off a 2011 Scott Foil, as is the seat. The seat post in the pic was FSA carbon, but now its got a carbon Easton EC70 post.
Since the pic was taken i've upgraded all the bolts to anodised red, replaced the skewers with red Ti ones and she grips the road with red walled Schwable Lugarnos.

It's a nice bike to ride though, I'm 115kg so an old steel clunker is a smart choice.
