Nitto goodness.
New vans, half price from the local surf shop.
Back to having a track bike, after many years without. Some rollers too.
This is an early 80s Peter Bundy frame. Zeus crown and tips, Ishiwata 017 tubing, cinelli steel bar and stem. OR7 rims like those I had on a Reagan so many years ago, but they are not in a rideable state.
There’s just something about the Bundy’s that hits all the right notes
Got these ME5 as an upgrade to my old MO88 spd mtb shoes. They look like they have plenty of grin for those hike a bike sections.
Good start to the year, gumtree find for a hunge.
Sugino 75s, Chris King headset, Thomson post and stem, san marco regal saddle on an older schwinn madison frame (powdercoated).
Jaysus, you stole it Jase!!!
Looks kinda like my POS sans stickers with nicer parts
Not bad eh!
Happy new year to me
Yup!
But we are still waiting on updates for the monstercross/bikepack build. Chop chop!
Wow. Sugino 75’s can pull double that by themselves.
ya, plus thomson, plus thomson, plus CK…
Regal saddle?
Indeed
A t-shirt and a beer…
Recent NBD and maiden voyage.
So good! How’d you find it?
It’s been maybe 6 years since I’ve ridden MTB on any real trail. That was a 26" hardtail. Took this around the same loop and side trail to check it out, this bike is much better. Dropper post took a little getting used to, but by the end of 10km of XC/firetrail both up and down hill I was into the swing of it.
Heading to Thredbo this weekend for a two day session, so aiming to stay complete/unbroken afterwards.
Nice, just take it easy and make sure your suspension has been set up properly for you.
Sag set to 25-30%. These air systems make it super simple! I certainly didn’t feel it bottom out on the loop. There will be no shortage of advice or tools on the weekend. One of the group going is a 10 year old kid, so I’ll be trailing him.
