Nice. Any bike that gets you out and about in places like that is money well spent.

Where?

Brave. 🙂

That bike looks very snappable noodley next to you 🙂

Looks like you are having fun. Hows the bike. We have just got back from Cutgate. Bit muddy in places but great to be out. My last ride for 3 months asuming they dont send me home from the hospital again in the morning.

Looks bloody freezing.. 😐

But you’re out there on something with boingy bits on it, can’t be bad, hope the downhill bit was fun 😆

Where?

just off the top of Skiddaw, Carlside, the over Ullock and down the ridge.

bike needed christening in a suitable environment.

Tracey, bike seemed very good. early doors yet. it needs big hills and rocks i think.
Cutgate will be fun.

hope you get sorted, good luck love.

What bike is it Ton ?

Enduro 29er.

Was just looking up at carlside/ullock from keswick about an hour ago, looks pretty snowy, how were conditions on ullock Tony? Planning to ride it next week. Great to see ye get back in real hills, awesome stuff.

Nice one Tony! Bike looks ace

I’ve never seen a 29er that looked to need bigger wheels in the frame!

I think it looks spot on.

I bet that goes like stink downhill

Fantastic piccy, bike looks properly ace. Good choice, you look dead chuffed with it

looks effing cold though 😆

it feels very stable, possibly too stable in tight corners. i had a spill, got crossed up in a rut.

skiddaw was icy hard snow nobeerinthefridge, the scree path down to carlside was a foot deep snow, i had to use someone elses footprints.
just off carlside the snow/ice ended, and it was fun.
i had to walk/scramble down some of ullock. it is very steep and tricky.
hats off to anyone who can ride down that.

it was numbing cold in the wind, i had taken my balaclava off prior to the photo.

If you’re ever in the NWAlps area Tony give us a shout & I’ll show u the local stuff

Me too, with the big un on its back. 😀
Nice one, big stuff. 😛

I approve this thread.

😉

this morning, i feel like i have taken the whole of the english pack on single handedly.
aching knees/ankles/wrists and ribs (ribs from a tumble).
i had forgot how much mountainbiking hurts…. 😆

Ton,

Apologies for slight thread hijack but is the rear mudguard on your bike something you bought as is or modified to fit?

It’s something I’ve been hankering after for ages: when I drop my saddle for the downhill bits I hear an almighty rasp whenever I compress the rear suspension.

<insert joke here>.

The only way to avoid it is to put the guard so high on the post that it doesn’t work as well.

Im also a fat bloke on a specialized enduro (2014 comp),
Is yours the 2015 Comp.?

Ace.

mamadirt, feel free to borrow the bike whenever you want…… 😀

Great picture, good to see!

But I don’t understand why you’ve gone and put 24″ wheels on your bike?

mamadirt, feel free to borrow the bike whenever you want……

Why thank you young man 😉 You got a step ladder too? 😆

that bike is a 36er.

Love it. Enjoy fella
