Brilliant! I hope to see you out on it soon Pete.

Ask for a rake for your birthday eh?

Wow! Stunning.

that is indeed an awesome christmas present.you'd still have to be going some though to get THE best christmas present ever (for anyone else who got one for crimbo,you know i'm right 😉 [img] [/img] 😀 edit back in 1988 not today 😳

Nice..........

Nice very nice 🙂

2011? Own them with Bombers till they return it and get you a current model.

(NB. Just joking, I am seriously jealous!!!)

Not a big fan of fs bikes, but I must say thats gorgeous!! Bet your chuffed to bits..... 😀

FTFY

I once got a kayak for Christmas

I hope you asked Santa for some pedals as well! 😉

Looks good, how does it ride without any pedals 😯

I'm off to FOD tomorrow to give it a thrashing on some DH tracks. I've managed to borrow some pedals. Should be awesome; riding a brand new bike on some great tracks!

Nah, I call Trumps; Alfie, 9lbs 4oz, happy little boy.

ah, congratulations

Who instructed the big guy to bring you that?
Partner? Parents?

9lbs! Well done Mrs langy 🙂

You should have called him Jesus though (just for giggles)

Well, he was the first babe born in the State (we're in South Aus) so we ended up with the local media in carrying on; They did ask about the name - Mrs Langy and I had been joking about Jesus for the last few weeks - but Mrs Langy carefully steered around it to not upset any of the Churchy Mob. Very Tactful is Mrs Langy when needs be.

Mrs Langy's birthday in late March may have had something to do with the timing. *ahem*

Ours was born a tad early (18th) but I had herod down for a middle name should he had been born on the 25th 🙂

I think Santa delivered to the wrong address - I asked for a shiny bike but didn't even get anything shiny to put on a bike!

Looks good - enjoy your ride today 🙂

Wee one must be the best xmas pressie ever!

Congratulations!!!!!!

Congrats Langy!

Don't call the poor bugger Noel though.

Looks fantastic. What model is that?

Same model as mine, 2011 Spicy 316. Amazing bike!

I can but only dream of a Christmas Drip Tray... 😥

S'cos you jolly well have not bin a good girl this year.

Sorry but it's true. 😐

Obviously not a leaf blower...

Nice bike though.

The bike was awesome. So much faster but it's taking a bit of getting used to. I can't jump it very well at the moment. I need to do a session up Kinver and experiment to sort that out.

It pedals really well. A guy who is about 4 stone heavier than me rode it for a bit, there was loads more sag than optimal and he said it pedalled really well.

It descends like a beast. It's really stiff. Well, it should be with a tapered steerer, 20mm thru axle and 36mm stanchions on the fork and a 12x142mm bolt thru axle on the rear! It's very supple, eventhough I'm running it fairly stiff at the moment (XC pressure in the shock) to get used to a full sus. I'll drop a touch of air out the rear shock as I get used to it. Roots cease to exist and there is far more grip available. I had a little play with it on the street earlier and curbs don't matter anymore; you can hit them head on and barely notice.

I just need some Nanos on it and a 2.5 Minion DHF on the front and it'll be sweet. 1X10 will be done when I've got the money.
