how on earth do you intend to carry your shopping home on that?
You've got strong legs then to go 'anywhere'?
I'm not seeing any suitable orifices for sexual gratification.
Is that 180mm on the front then? How's it handle, ok with the slacker angles?
No granny? I take 'do anything' does not mean go up steep stuff..
Looks more like a freeride lite, or an Alpsy playbike.
Nice!
And remember "You don't win friends with Granny!"
Not a snow bike either! 😉
SamB - no, its the 160 version. Think the 180's would destroy the handling and make it impossible to get uphill
Reggiegasket - its fine for pedalling uphill without the granny. Did W2 (45km) on it in 3.5 hours so its pretty quick when pushed.
whats the difference in the pics? new forks?
Forks, wheels/hubs, cranks, brakes, bars, stem and few other bits.
Ti spring maybe 😉
nice wheels! 🙂
Jedi: the kitchen extension has been built around it! Nose on the end of the face some folk.
Nice bike.
just wait till i get my alpine 160 xD
Droppy seatpost?
Out of interest, why didn't you get the 1.5 forks?
Agree that both a dropper seatpost & ti spring would be the next things
Love the way you suggets it is done. We all know these things are never 'done' 😉
Nice bike BTW
What rear tyre are you running?
It is a fab looking bike overall; I'm sure you'll be having a lot of fun! I think the 1x9 or 1x10 is definitely the way forward but what size front ring is that, only it looks quite a bit bigger than the 32t I run!
Seems alot of bike for a 24hr event
Will they let that on the track?
Geetee - its a Kenda small block 8 on the rear and 36t ring on the front.
