    I like it, even though I can’t decide if the como paint job is “yoof” or “mid life crisis” 😉

    I love my AM too, but mine looks better than yours because…… I got a ride in today and it’s now covered in trail dust 🙂

    Tyre logos, valves not lined up, pedals and cranks not level, wonky tree, otherwise a lovely bike. 😛 (did I miss anything?)

    You’re kidding right? The whole damn bike screams mid life crisis!

    Megatron I did indeed get the wheel sorted. True to their word Easton gave me a new rear wheel. Hope you’re well buddy!

    Having spanked my load on the bike I can’t afford patio furniture.

    Or toilet roll

    Or food. ….

    As much as I love Nicolai’s (I have one myself), I have to say I don’t like that.
    Might be in the minority though. I think it might just be the paint job putting me off.
    As above windows and the grass is far too long.

    “did I miss anything?”

    Lawn needs mowing/tidying
    Window frame could do with painting
    Fence/gate look like theyd benefit from recoatign
    chairs could be put away

    cant really see the state of your windows, brickwork/pointing ..

    What else do people moan about on here?

    Wrecker, seriously be my guest.

    Lawn was mowed just after I cleaned the bike but please dont mention that window. It’s needed doing for tree years now.

    Well I have a nicely (and quite similarly) specced 5 spot for a swapsie.
    Let me know the next time you hit cwm or Afan.

    Now 1×10 w/ XT brakes.
    Edit; are they carbon wheels? On second thoughts……….

    Carbon wheels? No no, nothing to see here. Move along please!

    Wrecker very nice. I used to ride Cwmcarn a lot but haven’t been there in almost two years! Will drop you a line if I can get a pass.

    Here’s mine – today it was accessorised with a Weeride and my daughter.

    Much of the ‘egging-on’ with the build of this was from geetee although as I am considerably younger than him it can’t be a midlife crisis bike….?!

    Very nice indeed, I also want to have a play. When you next up in this hilly part of the world?

    That is near perfection for me.

    I particularly like the way you are using those Formula rotors, which I happen to think are as pretty as rotors get, even though you have Shimano brakes. (Assuming my eyes are not failing me).

    How’s the hammerschmidt holding up messiah ?

    HammerSchmidt is great after nearly two years of abuse… still on the original bottom bracket which is a novelty for me. I’ve cleaned it inside a few times and I use oil instead of grease as I do with Hope hubs to keep it freewheeling easy; very important in winter up here. I love it, no more front mechs for me on the bikes I ride hard.

    x2 on the HS messiah. Mines going on the AC29e when it gets here. A tad portly, but I’ve battered the arms on rocks and I have to have full chain retention for the racing I do plus I prefer a granny too for the silly climbs, struggle to find an alternative. I either 1x or a HS. I reckon it costs me about 500g over 1 x 10, but the alps are a beatch, well quite a lot of the UK is too, 1x 10 on a big day out.
    Never had to change the chainring.

    I likes it by the way geetee. Pugh I also like my Nicolai’s ano black cos it looks ‘ard

    new XTR shadow plus on my AC29er is STUNNING !

    no chain drop, tight shifts, quiet and impeccable shifting from the XTR cassette / chain / shifters / full drivetrain…… Lurverrrly…. 🙂

    Hammerschnmidt desperately needs to shed weight to be welcomed by the masses, but the old planetery gear whir is NICE 🙂

    I particularly like the way you are using those Formula rotors

    You’re eyes are not failing you and that is very well spotted; they are indeed Formula rotors. Shimano don’t come with rotors and I previously had Formula The Ones on it, but I got tired of them being so sensitive to set up and having minimal pad clearance so I eBayed them and got the Shimanos.

    Messahi and FFTS, great to see you’re respective bikes up here. The Bombers are probably the best matched fork for the AM I think.

    TLR glad to hear you’re having so much fun on the AC29er – good that you’re finally happy!
