re BPW: Screw you

its ok - some of my lot are in morzine right now and keep sending me pics and clips (also most of the DH world seems to be there still after the DHWC last weekend

)

And that's different to me HOW?!
I've said goodbye to the Alps for the last time, without even knowing it would have been my last time, let that sink in

XD™ Driver Body is 6-8g lighter

Think of the weight saving and go 11 speed

£300+ for one extra gear, no thanks

I'd rather get one of those pointless moving seat posts

looks like it's from hyperbole and a half's blog

milko · 8 Jul 2015 at 15:56

Yeah - it's her doing "Clean ALL THE THINGS" which is kind of not gnarly but I like how it works for both!
Here is a PNG which could be used for a start. That's the end of how bothered I can make myself.

Make sure you lube up well (with anti midge)

MrKnifey · 9 Jul 2015 at 15:31

Im fancying a "hardcore" hardtail... Recommend me something!

Supercow · 9 Jul 2015 at 15:36

Depends on how 'core you wanna go?

Josh Bender would probably tell you to go BTR

Added bonus, you can make them paint it how you want, and define the geometry as you see fit.

Here's a bit of an extreme example

Slightly more conservative:

If your pockets run a lot deeper than mine, then surely this is your winner?

Crazy money, seen a few go second hand for £1k recently though.

Shan Privee? Cotic?

milko · 9 Jul 2015 at 16:04

As a Shan owner myself I'd point at that, my mate's Stanton is nice also.

Commencal have a good-looking option too:
