you said hey wish that was me up there, it's the biggest rocket I could find.

And so it is. RocketMax XL. Big bike and a great fit.

Plenty of room for bigger tyres and a tonnes of ankle clearance - good news for a serial heel rubber.

Jaunty angle

Obligatory weed/side shot.

Only a quick blip up and down the street a few times but it's a bike alright. A big bike but i'm a big person and it fits great. It's fast too. I set a KOM from the back gate to the end of my drive (approx 40') ๐Ÿ˜› and manuals easier than the Stumpy Evo. Will get a proper ride/report when my back gets better .

Big thanks to Cy and Paul @ Cotic for the great service and to Kate for the great music.

Yeah me too.
not going to happen without a mystery benefactor or a lottery win

But that red is the nicest colour out of any of the flare/rocket models.

Words can't express how jealous I am/how much I hate you at the moment.

Some of your bolts appear to be falling out.

That is just lovely

In fact, I think that's the classiest full susser I've seen.
Most look ugly, I'll proportioned or fussy.

Good luck to them.

It is rather nice if i say so myself ๐Ÿ˜€ and the colour was one of the reasons i chose it over the others on my shortlist (it wasn't crappy neon for a start). That and the and as Rusty points out, the proportions look spot on - for an XL 29er it just looks right to my eye and with a 6'5" me on board i look just like a normal mountain biker on a normal mountain bike for a change and not like a grown man who's stolen a child's bike.

Lose bolts were tweaked before taking it for a spin Stato but good spot.
