Looks nice that! You appear to have something weird at the rear drive train though.

arnt they called geers or something like that? 😉
Never catch on 😉
think the 1x9 will stay though as it is not too niche 😉
The singular rigid fork is very good as far as rigids go but they're not a patch on decent suspension 😉
Clubber, yes as a 'rigid' fork they soak up quite a bit of buzz, but you right, not a patch on suspension. How are those suntours going? Si
those manitous look very upright, or is it just the camera angle that makes the head angle look so steep?
Yer uneven ground, tried to get bike level, but it kept falling over... And yes probably camera angle, they were all but the same axle to crown as the steel singular fork.. So perhaps with a little sag might steepen the angles a bits
rootes - still fine.
mine is suspended now.
rigids are ok for younger men.......grandad's need something comfier............. 😉
