enjoy the build quality….let us know how you ‘bond’ 🙂

Is that a washing line?

the_letch – I think it’ll be a joyous relationship, the thing feels fast as **** on the road out side coming of a 32lb PItch it’s hardly surprising!!

Can;t wait ot hit the trails

Druid – if you’re on about the mighty front brake hose, it does need a little trim.

Need a Hayes Stroker bleed kit first though 😆

Steve – the comment was aimed at t_l_r. Must be handy being able to dry your wet socks behind the seatpost as you’re riding along.

druid – no worries

(steve now hopes no one notices the brake hose being about 13ft too long)

druidh – outer is long on post compression – stretches once post is extended.
fwiw, the joplin is for sale 🙂
