During the forum downtime yesterday I bought myself a new bike :lipsrsealed:
Nice little 370 mile round trip today to pick it up...



Should be better suited to the riding I do rather than the stinky. Its about 10kg's lighter!!
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Just done a cheeky 15 mile ride on the new bike :cool: Rides soooo much nicer than the stinky, its much lighter and easier to chuck around. Gears are great, smooth and quick. Only thing is the brakes aren't as good as the ones on the stinky. Might see if I can swap them over :undecided:

Nige you can buy it :wink: Will be going on ebay tomorrow. Along with the marzocchi rear shock.

nice  :cool:

give me your seatpost!

Dropper post is great, can't wait to hit some trails to try it out properly. :cool:
