Have a quick nosey at this very comfortable green machine sent in by a clueless idiot.

Oooft! 34/16 gearing? That's a stout ratio! I'm running 32/19 currently; I'd need much stronger legs, or totally flat trails, to manage 34/16!. Nice bike Mister ...

Very cool 😎

That gearing ratio is 👍 ( I live in the flatlands though 😆 )

A 1x1 and a KM are both on my bucket list to build one day.

Lovely looking bike, that. You can’t beat a well sorted steel hardtail. That gearing would be the death of me though
