After almost a year on the hardtail, and the last 2 months off the bike with a broken wrist, I spent the last few evenings putting all my new bits I’d been gathering over this time onto my old Rocket frame.(could probably do with a dropper though)
Plan was to make a mini DH/Alps bike to complement my hardtail-do-it-all trail bike.
Got it finished and out for a couple of hours last night and what a HOOT!
Felt like I could smash over anything, as the forks definitely saved my bacon a couple of times when I combined forgetting how to ride and my wrist being pretty weak still.

Feels ace to be back out with my buddies again, with my first UKGE race 3 weeks away and morzine 4 weeks away, the sun is out!
Hope this post inspires someone !

It looks lush

*cries in to his pillow*

I can’t see beyond the truly dreadful seat QR position, I’m afraid.

I’m sure there’s a nice bike in there somewhere, but….

😉

That looks ace.

I am in process of building up a black/white bike in that kind of manner.

Aw, now I cannot see past it either.

Please, make it black and straighten it.

Haha! Nah it’s staying just like that!
Nobody will nick it now

It’ll be black when the dropper gets bought

my old Rocket frame

presumably you spent the 2 months polishing it ? 😯
