It'd be great if someone could comment on the length of the rear brake hose!
Initial impressions are: Quite light, wrong tyres for this time of year, should be 2x10 not 3x9, yellow yellow yellow.

Hoping to round up some cattle with the brake hose ?
(you did ask!
)And Holy Seatpost Length Batman!

I really like it, though how you managed to crash into that tree 3ft up is beyond me. Are you dangling from one of the branches?
Posted 5 months ago # -
quite alot of seatpost sticking out there.
Posted 5 months ago # -
Very nice indeed, if you don't mind could you tell me the price you paid and the weight?

is that a lasso at the front for straying cattle?

Nice colour, wrong size

That's the least horrible C456 ever!

It's a Whippet, not a C456.
Nice bike.
Posted 5 months ago # -
Is it? I stand corrected- turns out it's the least horrible Whippet ever!
<edit- just realised I might sound like I'm being genuinely rude, I'm not- I've got a C456 myself and love it. Would love it more if it were yellow like me old Mmmbop and my commuter though!>

colour looks great.
think you need to do up the seat post clamp though as it's slipping out
and yes, 3x9 is so wrong for that bike. Needs 2x9 or 2x10.

Nice!
Posted 5 months ago # -
I'm hoping you raised the seat post to hook it on to the tree?
Posted 5 months ago # -
Looks very nice indeed. 1x10 even nicer
Wonder if a c456 in yellow would look that good? Think it's the slightly curved down tube that make them look a bit funny.

That looks right (even in a tree)
If only I could grown bikes on trees.

Excessively long seatpost> Check.
Long stem? Check.
Frame too small? Check.Posted 5 months ago # -
Don't listen to the knobbers. Long seatposts are wikkid!
Posted 5 months ago # -
Thanks folks! The seatpost is quite long, and looks ridiculous at that angle.
Shorty121 - the frame was £299. The rest was pulled off my old bike (hence the slightly long stem). No idea how much it weighs - not as much as me!

Posted 5 months ago # -
Very much an XC bike (is that still allowed?) - not very niche. Stem is 80mm I think. Will need to ride it a bit to get everything right (and justify spending yet more on bikes).
2x9 is an interesting idea...

I just love how someone posts a picture and half a dozen wade in 'oh look, it's too small'.
Maybe it's a 'little on the small side' as opposed to the next size up being 'too fuggin big'.
I remember some knobber was adamant my soul was too small for me. Amazing! All from a picture!

Oh, and yeah it looks good to me.
Not sure about that seat pin though.
Posted 5 months ago # -
those long hoses ..urgh..
Posted 5 months ago # -
Thought about one of these myself recently. They look good in the plain yellow or red and are good value at £299. Nice job.

your cables are a mess.
