Still only 6k on the clock.

My favourite bike that I've ever owned. There is something about the styling of the earlier generations and combined with this colour... I'm not sure I'll ever let it go.

Debating what to upgrade next - suggestions welcome!

Mine has done 24k. I was tempted to paint my Gen 4 the same colour :)
Do you still have original suspension sjparker? My brain (and riding newer bikes) has convinced me I need to refresh it over the coming winter... Already had a chat with the famous Perry on the matter
 
Hi @RickS1K

Yes I believe all still original suspension, the bike really still looks almost brand new as it was PPF'd from new.

What does Perry offer in the suspension refresh?

Have you done any other upgrades for yours? I'm a bit tempted with some over priced HP4 carbon 🙈

(And hell yeah to painting your Gen 4! Would be interesting to see what a Photoshop mock up looks like with the colour)

Thanks,

Simon
 
On a blue fire Gen 4, no imagining required, Bahnstormer did one 3 years ago, I'll dig out the pic later.

The rear suspension is not technically a serviceable unit. Some places fudge this but they have to drill into it to open it. My last conversation was about replacement rather than refresh... £1200 for DDR lite I think... never mind anything the fork springs might need...

I haven't really done anything else to the bike. Just high black screen, crash protection, tail tidy. R&G do colour coded Rad guards if you don't have them - they looked good new, mine really need repainted.

Actually found the pics quicker than expected.... 2 pics of the Gen 4 (May 21 I think, someone said it started life as a red bike) and another of a very low mileage bike they had taken in, formerly owned by some bloke called James May. It had done 1900 miles in 8 years (pic taken in Oct 2020).

I think you'll approve of the carbon the Gen 4 :cool:

The Gen4 looks pretty sweet in blue.

I was at Bahnstormer getting my bike serviced when the James May bike was brought in
