Finished and ready to ride!

My first burly'ish hardtail bike – all the bits came off my S-Works Stumpjumper FSR – never gets ridden, so fancied a change….

…..yes garden needs a tidy, & couldn't be arsed to sort out logos/valves/etc. 😉

Like the garden but not the bike

I have an old Identity – not that particular model, but it's great fun! Yours looks burlier than mine, like it.

nice bike. nice garden.

What inner tubes?

Inner tubes: click here – £20 for 10 – bit of a bargain. Seem pretty solid so far.

The forks are on back to front 😉

+1 the garden comments.
