After riding one at a demo day last year, pronouncing it perfect and that all other brands should stop trying, I've finally got my hands on this....

Took it for a spin on Sunday to get it muddy and I stand by the statement I made at the demo day, it's perfect.

Very happy boy here ๐Ÿ˜€

Just because you have got bike wood there is no need to plaster it all over the internet.

Gorgeous bike....enjoy! I demoed one before I got my bronson earlier this year and loved it. It would have been my choice but I wanted slightly more travel.

You rode it in public with that logo - valve alignment? For shame ๐Ÿ˜‰

Great bike, I was going to go for one, but decided on an intense carbine instead. Should be here next week, and can't wait. How do you find the wheels ? I've gone for them also.

The wheels are great, light enough, but track amazingly well. They spin up really quickly too. As for their fabled ability to transfer what has passed to the realm of the living, well, you'll have to find that out for yourself ๐Ÿ˜‰
