a new frame to me. Summer season which I'm looking forward to riding. Always been a traditional cross country bike rider with flat bars and stretched riding position but first impression of this is that it feels pretty good. It looks like the Airborne will definitely be going...

There is now a bar bung in place.

I like that!

And it looks like my garage. What are the USD forks?

Also what's the suzuki in the background and why is it at the back of the queue?

The garage will get it's annual clean up soon...

The forks are Shivers. The Suzuki is an RM250(J) - scary side of fun! It's in running order, I do need to use it more though. The kids love watching me scare myself silly on it haha!

And that stem is REALLY log for that frame. The 456s were designed to run shorter stems/longer top tubes. Bang a short stem on quick and the fun levels will go through the roof. Slack Summer Season and a barge pole for a stem must make for some laughable steering!

That's an On One 456 stem!

I like the risers too.
