Something for the weekend sir 😆 I’ve never had an exciting colour before and thought swimming pool blue might be nice; I was wrong, online pictures didn’t do it justice, it’s absolutely stunning in the flesh 🤩 loving all the design features, I think it will be a rather brilliant bike, just need to head out and test it!
Massive thank you to Sandy and the team at Trailhead Shrewsbury, they have been brilliant, mega quick with everything and nothing was too much trouble, especially as I gave them a list of instructions and stuff to swap, outstanding service 😀
That is a great colour! And as beefy e-bikes go I think it looks really good. Long live the long travel mullet monster truck!
Noice. I too have a One77, I didn't do a NBD post so I will live vicariously through yours!
Stunning colour. It's a bit hard to focus on! Is it super bright in the flesh?

🤣 did you get the model with the Suntour shock? I was thinking I might swap it for a Fox Performance Elite shock to match the forks, but after riding it today I am ditching that idea and keeping the Suntour to give it a proper trial, it’s surprisingly brilliant. I’m loving the details too, like a decent battery cover for a change 🙂 all good with yours?

Its definitely not dull 🤣 it can’t be too bright either though, several elderly ramblers stopped me this afternoon just to complement the colour, rambler catnip blue 😆

I got the Trail Motion model. Made a few changes.
Very happy with it.
- Nice colour, similar teal to my GT eGrade Bolt!🤩
Same colour as a 1970s toilet.Not for me I,m afraid.
Like the olive coloured effort mind.

🤣 I’m jealous, did you grow up in a utopian disco land, the only colour we got in the North West in the 70’s were peach bathroom suites for the posh 😆 🤣

1970s toilet sounds like a realistic descriptor for a pretentious paint colour 😀
(my parents had the avocado bathroom suite when I was growing up)
Nice colour! I do like a bold colour on a bike. Not quite the same but similar to Yeti turquoise.
I'm with monkeycmonkeydo tbh - love the olive. Still nice bike though, my mate has a black one and it's a decent emtb
Firstly our bathroom is still that blue
Secondly i rented one of these at Glentress. Very nice it was too. But in think when i buy I’ll want a removable battery

Its a ridiculously easy battery to remove and will be the same even if covered in mud, the work of moments, with a solid, non fiddle cover 🙂
Oh that interesting. It goes back on the list

My mate rented one last weekend at GT as well, and she liked it so much she's bought one. Only issues she had were the saddle (personal choice, but they are not very comfy at all, in some of the reviews) and cranks (too long and getting pedal strikes easily)
She's getting the 150mm Praxis cranks that came on my Druid E and a Spesh something-or-other that gets good reviews from women.

Yeah the saddle is hideous. I need to change mine, I'm reminded every ride. 🤣
Not helping me not buy an e-bike tbh. Looks decent does that.

How tacky, it was all sophisticated avocado down south 😀

They're cracking bikes. With something at every price point. I'm loving mine.
I have the Specialized Bridge Comp Saddle with MIMIC on all my bikes now, it’s brilliant, especially for long days.
This bike is extraordinary value, I’ve changed some bits (wheels / cassette, tyres, forks and bars), but actually the only bits you absolutely need to change are the tyres. I was going to put my spare Shimano XT brakes on, but the new Magura Louise feel spot on, very XT like! 😀
Long Mynd with my wife today then jumps and drops with my daughter this evening 🤗
Well, the bike has been tested, lots of rides over the weekend, including a great bimble with my wife all over the Long Mynd, lots of exploring and steep ups n downs along with those classic high speed descents that stick a grin on your face that remains there for hours 😀
Loads of jumps and drops too, including some new scary ass gaps that are more than a bit technical too, first time I’ve been scared to do a jump in a while, but what could go wrong on a new bike 🤣 I shouldn’t have worried, this is already my favourite bike to jump 😀
The bike climbs, descends, jumps, stops and drops brilliantly and sips its watts lightly, I couldn’t ask for more. Maybe if it wasn’t the same colour as a 1970’s toilet?!? 🤣 😆 🤣
I will leave you with a very brief clip of dad daughter time from one of our several rides this weekend…
