Heavy for a small frame.

It's half a pound lighter than your Ichabod and I have a dropper post, Hope V2's. And bigger tyres.

It looks super stealth, cannot believe I am going to say this but the red grips really don't go.

i agree and they look cheap in fact they remind me of grips that i had on an apollo piece of junk when i was young... shame when you spend over a grand on a bike and don't get decent grips.

Everyone knows colour adds 8oz. Did you choose the colours so it matched the local granite and sky?

Booyaka I'm glad you got the forks sorted, your running almost the same psi as me, and I'm using all my travel, but your forks have got to bed in yet, so you will need a tad more I reckon when they get loose. Should add I've got mine sorted aswell.

The bashguard and stinger are some really nice finishing touches.

A space in the Wigwams for the Glentress trip has opened up, any of the day trippers or anyone else interested?

Dunno, I might give the shop a call and see if they have any kind of tracking on shipments like this.

What a dude :cool:

iamtheoneneo · 9 Apr 2011 at 16:39

so i went on a new route today near my house, on my first run though i was thinking that its pretty damn challenging and actually ****ing hard. had lots of areas where you can easily get wheel trapped in and theres a river running right next to this pretty narrow route - ie. you get caught and chances are your end up in the river.
so on my way back and about to do the route in reverse (after getting an icecream!) i came across this:

so i think i will think a bit in future as if its worth screaming through the route at 100% lol.

ps. its a ambulance and they were carrying a biker into it.

Draeger · 9 Apr 2011 at 16:56

Biker, as in motorcyclist?.

Was up early this morning as it was my turn to feed the wee fella. After he settled down I left him with mum and I nipped up to Carron Valley for a quick run round. Cracking way to start the day, early morning dew and overcast skies soon gave way to a superb morning weatherwise. On the climb up to Eas Dubh, looking back over the reservoir :-

no as in me and you biker
