After comtemplating of getting a new frame for the past few months, my eyes were set on riding a Morewood again. Got an 08 Morewood Izumi. Very lucky as i have one of (if not the last 08 one :]).

Props to Drew at Bling Industries, great bloke to deal with.

All of the parts came off my Glory, except the cranks which are Shimano XT's.
Really stoked with how its turned out. Time to go riding :cool:

Gee, that is one very nice bike. Great spec and love the look of it. Was just wondering though what is up with the 'Blood' stains on the frames? I have now seen 2 Morewoods with that and I have no idea why?

Also a weight?

The bike's name means cannibal in zulu... and/or ogre depending on the translation
