tough to like sidewalls but that pulls it off nicely 👍😁

Ha, that's mental. Love it 👌😂

Your drive could do with a bit of leaf blowing though.

Yeah like that. I’m not a fan of too much colour, but that works. Enjoy.

Like the Sonder transmitter, not so keen on tan walls - was glad to get rid of them in the 90’s and that’s where I’ve left them!

Is it not too low without plus tyres? Is it a harsh ride?
Not sure about purple grips there.

That is a thing I want to ride. Nice.

Someones blocked your drive with boulders though.

Looks great, pulls off the tan sidewalls nicely IMO!

Excuse the state of my back garden 😉

First proper ride today my local loop quite sloppy in places so not full beans.

Came from a pinnacle Iroko to this. I had debonair upgrade fitted to up travel from 120mm to 140mm(sonder recommend 150mm) I’m running non plus tyres too. The initial slow steering feel was quickly forgotten once rolling and it rides very well. It doesn’t feel wildly different to my Iroko which is exactly what I hoped. I have slightly slacker head angle and more suspension up front I’m happy.

My local loop takes a nice downhill run(carberry) with some nice jumps. Bike inspires confidence.

Despite running 150mm fork and non plus tyres I felt no Ill effects. I plan to run larger rubber eventually.

It's not a bad spot to test out a new bike. I might pop over on Saturday before the outlaws arrive for Christmas.
