First full suss and it has opened my eyes as to how fast a downhill can be munched and spat out.
Being a Gold Fetishist is a registered disability, so I'm told 🙂

For me, this is a keeper. Seriously fun to ride and makes the climbs easier (well a little anyway).
EDIT: Stevo210 - That Cannondale has the tyres on upside down 😥

Your bike rides upside down, is that the new niche?

It is a really Cheap STW/ Parts bin Build
It gets me to work
It lets me do a few miles without dying like the FS
It now has some new-fangled suspension forks (from here) which I may try out tonight

It gives me confidence
One day I might get both wheels off the ground...
Some fat biffer is in the way of the picture of the bike, but it is the only recent picture of mine:

Got one after owning a 2nd hand earlier geo frame and it's frikkin ace, goes up hill as better than Cove Handjob and descends really really well.
Oh yeah it's a bit on the niche side, does have a Joplin fitted at the moment and about to have the old Racing Ralph slung on the rear for summer fastness 😀
Nice Boardman, didn't know they did it in red...... 🙂

SSSimon.....a fellow Rushian 🙂
carbon rushians steve, not one of those alloy commoners 😉
seriously though best bike I've hd I reckon, so good on swoopy singletrack makes me smile everytime I ride it
Yeah my apologies, Carbon Rushians!!
Ive come straight from my rigid retro scott (see below) straight to the Rush. Absolutely nothing to compare it to, but it does make me smile plenty. Didnt know anything about them really, must have struck lucky when I spotted it on ebay and thought, I like orange, squishy at both ends, think I'll have that 🙂
Ahhh much better!

because it's been hit with a fugly stick but goes faster than a roadie on PCP (and causes as many crashes) 😆

This was a pic of it on its maiden voyage today and so far its epic. Goes up hills better than my hard tail did and flies down them!

I had the frame off ebay on Monday and transferred the rest of the kit from my HT today.

Now I want a Piglet even more!
[img]

Cause its a great cheap workhorse bike, taken abuse, and has gone everywhere with me, and is quick at climbing. Does it all(that I need it to).
[img]

Me Meta.
Only bike, does it all, done 2 Mountain Mayhems on it and will be doing a 3rd. It'll also be my weapon of choice for the STWeekender if I don't break it.
I'll have this frame forever it's like an old friend!

My Trek Remedy with all the bling off my old bike. Best bike I've owned. I'll be adding a Reverb seatpost soon hopefully.
I have a steel Genesis hardtail as well, which mainly gets used for commuting and winter stuff.

Best bike I have had.
But check bike before myself when I fall off, people keep trying to steal it and look so like mid life crisis purchase !

Like it because it's quite unusual, long, low, slack, strong, fairly light and rapid. The best fitting geometry for my body of any bike I have owned.

...but mine looks better 😉
But mine is getting Saint brakes on it tomorrow so at least it'll slow down when I want, managed to hit 60kph on one section in the Clwyds today brown adrenaline time.
I can't stop staring at peasants green enduro....it makes me feel queezy and lightheaded.
Ohh....bit of sick came up.

New bike built using parts from my old Kona and the frame brought off here (Plus other little bits!)
