[#9548810]

My new bike arrived this week, so I set about taking off stuff I didn't want / like and added a few bits I did.

It's KTM Myroon Elite all boosted and everything with a pair of those funky Fox 32 Stepcast forks up front, off came the Schwalbe RoRo's to be replaced by Vittoria Barzo / Mezcal on the stock Mavic tubeless rims, I ditched the 2x11 and fitted a Shimano 32t single ring, off came the stock Selle saddle & on went a Fizik Tundra and also changed the grip from the stock foam ones to Ergon GA2's.

A quick spin up the road last night and initial impressions are good.

Looks nice, something a bit different. Reminds me of my Hard Eddie.

Good choice on tyres.

(Excellent grass!)

Thumbs up, looks good!

Good move to tide the lawn before the pic, bit patchy though. ๐Ÿ˜‰

That's a new garden that is. Won't look that good next year. Too close to the fence too - that'll end up a mess. Needs a border.

Suppose that's what you get for cutting it when it's damp ๐Ÿ˜†

No it's not, the grass has been down 8 years. There is a small 8" wide boarded that requires regular weeding.

You bugger. More jealous of that than the bike.
