MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Thanks to everybody on here who sold me the kit for this,and a big thanks to the guys at www.cycle-world.co.uk who had the joyous task of putting it together (cheers/sorry Gav!) To my shame I forgot cakes.Planning on using it for getting to Munros in the middle of nowhere and a few of the old through routes up here.First impressions are that it does not feel as awkward as I thought it would be,and steers quicker than I thought it would.I will see if my view changes with a 12kg pack and a headwind in Glen Shiel tomorrow.

Critique of Garden also welcome.
Theres a leaf in the picture.
IT'S NOT AUTUMN YOU KNOW.
Bloody tardyness.
That's a garden?
who had the joyous task of putting it together
You mean you paid someone to build a bike...must be rich.
Get the gardener onto that leaf problem pronto.
almost looks like a normal bike 😉
Cranks are at the wrong angle
Valves and logos lined up nicely.
Those guys at Cycle World obviously know their stuff when it comes to building bikes.
MTG,that was my input...quite proud of that.Takisawa,do the tyres not look familiar to you?
I like that, a lot. 😳
Their 'forgetting' to put bar plugs in for you is clearly retribution for you forgetting to get them any cakes.
Nice looking bike though. 😀
Yes watch those bars it could be a childs face next time
Excellent valve logo alignment.
Plug those bars.....don't want you doing a starship now do we.
Mmm fence could do with some paint,very disapointed
no cakes no bar plugs! firm but fair..... 😆
What are you doing in Glen Shiel? Oh, tidy bike BTW. 🙂
Boblo,Round back of South ridge to Kinloch Hourn to camp,next day climbing. Plugs now fitted,fence was wet!
South ridge is good but the two Munros between it and Kinloch Hourn are nasty bastards. Thing is, you need to lose all your height to do the second one. Grumble grumble....
On the south side of Loch Quoich is the back way into the beasts of Glen Dessary. Have you done those yet?
I like the chainstay protector
Lovely, my knees are beginning to protest at the long distances on the singlespeed CX so something like that ^ would be ideal.
Pictures of your ride up here please?
Looks nice. Any idea of total project cost?
I likey - +1 Dougal: how much? 🙂
Total cost including getting it put together by a real mechanic under £500.(I had my own bars,stem,post and saddle)
Scandal frame and forks.
XT Mechs,deore shifters RF ride chainset.
Superstar wheels/headset
Juicy 5 brakes
