A few gratuitous pics of the new Ute! Took it out on marshalling duty at the Manc Whlrs CX race today. Carted stakes, tape, marshals and then shed the bags and rode the course a couple of times.

I have no idea how I lived without one for so long! 😉

Many thanks to Phil at Eddie McGraths for getting it for me so rapidly.

Nice, shame they don't make their xc bikes as nice anymore.

It isn't quite in the same league as the 90s Konas but I was pretty impressed by the build quality and the attention to detail.

Its getting a stoker bar and some footrests at some point to make passenger carrying a bit more secure, potentially also a deck pad.

The only major weakness is the stand which is no where near wide enough and the bike has a slight tendency to tip over while loading.

Very nice indeed. 😀
