Will it not weigh about the same as the Forth Rail Bridge?

And why does the roller door in the background change colour eighteen inches from the ground?

Looks very similar to my recent build (in fact I was going to buy one of those). I have rediscovered why suspension was invented.... Lovely to ride until I hit the rocky bits.. fkk me.

Nice. Now if it was only racing green and 29+ it would be a thing of immense beauty 🙂

20'' frame

nearly bought the krampus, then changed my mind to the ogre, but got this £400 cheaper than the ogre, and i had a nice gear system in the spares box, just in case..... 😉

Very nice. As you said on my 'new bike' thread the other day, a bike built for a purpose is the best type of bike.
