    It’s a rather nice afternoon here, so my 2015 Alps Bike build starts here:

    Only change to last years spec is a set of Saint 4 pots at each end.

    Exactly the same as my 2012 Alps bike which sadly was the last time I went. Looking forward to the trip, might even be this weekend – all last minute

    Not your typical gnar shredding bike, but should be an awesome trip (geneva-morzine-chamonix-tignes-briancon via a rough version on gr5 in 6/7 days)

    Superfli. Can I ask you, is the green paint on your Banshee fading? Mine has faded on the top tube due to being kept in conservatory. Sorry for thread hijack, if that,s what it’s called

    Tracy, where did you get the tyres on that first enduro? Are they eskar’s? Not been able to get them in ages

    It’s more of an everything bike, rather than an Alps/Holiday special.

    It may make it out there yet for a long weekend before some extended Canadian action though 🙂

    ^Loving that Reign^

    I’ll be on my Covert with some nice new ‘Zocchis and a massive grin!

    Tyres on the first Enduro and the Stumpjumper are 2.3 Enduros. The other Enduro is on Butcher/Purgatory combo. We are running two sets of Escars on our Chameleons but dont rate them as much as the other Specialized ones we are running. Still have a few pairs of the Enduros left which are by far my favorites.
    Dont think you can get Escars now.

    Taking my old 2005 Enduro to Les Arcs next month.
    Wrong size wheels & probably the wrong geometry but I enjoyed a couple of holidays at Morzine with it in the past 😀

    Can the Reign be had frame only, Hob Nob?

    Like it, but the spec on the complete bike is all wrong for me, I’d want to change everything

    No its not fading. It might look it from the photo, but it must be the light.

    Switchback Unveil9 for my trip to Saalbach/Hinterglem in August. May put some more sensible (i.e. stronger) wheels on for the trip.

    Taking my Canyon DH bike and my Nukeproof Mega. Arrive on July 5th for two weeks. Since I discovered at the weekend that my scumbag of a wife has been having an affair behind my back, I’m going on my own so if anyone else is in town give me a shout so I’m not Billy No Mates!

    No Alps for me, bit too far, but back to Chiang Mai in August as I enjoyed it so much in April, maybe do a long stretch in Europe or New Zealand next year.

    My trusty Mach6 seems to do the job.

    Sorry to hear. Where will you be ? I was planning on being in Chamonix and Verbier from this weekend but trip has been pushed back to early July.

    Unfortunately not.

    I’m lucky in that I have a friend who owns a Giant store, so it actually worked out well, after i’d flogged everything. The numbers wouldn’t stack up otherwise.

    I think the only parts left of the original build on mine are the frame, headset & seat clamp 🙂

    Not alps but I’m gonna try and do a long weekend with Ride Portugal nearer autumn time with this. After I’ve got longer hoses.

    Need to find a new venue as our Austrian hotel booking (Ischgl area) was trashed by a landslip last week 🙁 Plenty more Alps to choose from I guess.

    This year’s concession to gnar is a 120 fork (20mm increase) and a dropper post on my 29er hardtail……..

    The same ones we always use – Sanderson Breath, Cannondale f900sl, Specilialized Rockhopper, Claud Butler Cape Wrath and Islabike Beinn 26.
    They all have some new brake pads though…

    No holiday for us, self-employment is great and all but there’s not much scope for time off! I am, however, nailing a 2009 Commencal Supreme 6 together in time for the last round of the Gravity Project Honey Series DH in a few weeks’ time 😀

    First ride out this morning – very quick! Two weeks on Saturday it’ll take me around La Marmotte…
