RIG! How does it feel?
Itâs slightly shorter in reach than my old frame. But feels the right size. Banshee Prime v3 in large for anyone wondering. 135 rear travel, 150 front.
Itâs just a solid frame. I love it. Built it up with Stans Arch / DT240exp wheels and Manitou Mezzer fork (37mm stanchions - stiff!).
Still getting the rear shock settings sorted, but canât wait for post-lockdown when I can take it to a few different trails. Maybe back down your way to Stromlo and Majura!
You will get used to it â it will be a very capable bike, especially with that 150 up front.
Replacement knock off lens for my Oakley EVZero Stride. The old polarized lens was so scratchy and hard to see through.
Picked these up of fb market place for $10 #stoked
Didnât have a bike up here in NQ so building up something to get me rolling again.
New wheels, new light new tires.
Stoked.
Bought a cat. Well, adopted a cat, but technically still paid money.
The other stuff I bought is taking weeks to arrive because of postal issues.
i was told recently that tortoise shells are quite mischievous. vet even referred to them as ânaughty tortiesâ. please provide updates.
isnât that a calico kitty?
Yeah, sheâs a calico. The shelter named her Peppa. Happily sleeps under the bed or lounge all day and mucks around at night, but thatâs probably more because of her history. Indeterminate age, best guess is 2-3 years old, lived in an empty factory and was fed randomly by the security guards at night. They noticed she was pregnant and bundled her up and delivered her to a shelter. None of them would have survived being born outside, maybe not even her. Now desexed, chipped, jabbed, and sheâs getting used to people being friendly again and daylight not being a threat to her existence.
New bike day!
Looks great! Is that a 139? Looks huge
Yup, thatâs the big boi. i have a smaller basket too & have been using it with that rack on my singlespeed for years, but itâs just that little bit too small & means i gotta fuck around with whateverâs going in it too much. wanted to be able to just throw in whatever & get going. also handy for overnighters to airbnbâs on rail trails, which i will be doing with the gf next weekend.
way to bury the lede Rolly.
Bloody nice bike mate!
cant believe rolu literally bought a new bike just to tell the fixie forum he has a gf, absolute scenes.
ded
