Slowly making this less suitable at it's primary purpose and more of a long touring bike.

Swapped tyres to Schwalbe All Road, changed to a 32T chainring and added some aero bars i found in the shed of the house i'm renting which the landlord said i could have! They're a bit small and awkwardly shaped for me though so will likely swap them out once i've made a decision whether to keep or not.

Not on the picture yet, but also have a Redshift suspension seatpost.

Also bought some Ergon grips. On the lookout for a handlebar with a bit of sweep for comfort too.

Out in April, full suspension and 74 mile range with 7-speed normal gears too. Had a lot of fun hauling all 33KG of it around trails yesterday

The boost button insta-torque function is pretty cool, pushes you up inclines greater than 15% fairly easily, only 60s at a time though.

The wrong bike for downhill, but why not anyway?

That's a pretty cool photo.

My main concern would be the design of the frame and the length of that steerer tube doing anything remotely rowdy.

I'm still alive after hours of downhill so must be fine
