piglet

Been scraping stuff together for the past month or so after my beloved 2013 Explosif got nicked. Put it all together today. Had a bit of money saved for 'toys' that's all gone now, sold a few things I was never realistically going to use again, swapped some posh beers for bits, raided my spares, and threw a few cheeky bids in on Marktplaats. I'm only just into four figures! Still needs brakes but I'll probably pinch them off my Foxy as I never use it anyway. Really looking forward to riding it!

White cable housing, the horror.

Otherwise nice build 👍

Thanks guys. Not a fan of the while cabling either, but like I said, raid on the spares bins! Had to file the spider to get a traded-for-beers chainring to fit it as well...

If you're going for max colour clashing I've got some orange sp41 outer, I can chop a couple metres off the roll for ya.

That'd be amazing, if postage to NL isn't insane?

Whereabouts do you ride in NL? I've only come across one trail on my travels but would like to find some more for when I'm next there.

I'm not too far from Schoorl, which has a pretty good loop. It's in the dunes so hides its lack of real elevation with lots of ups and downs, and being largely in the woods helps as well. Some good stuff around the Veluwe and the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, too.
