No need to apologise matt23, looks lovely. Knock yourself out with the weight thing, but just getting out and riding it is good too.
Eddygray11 - sorry not me who contacted u about the genesis 10!
First ride today cannot wait euro.....got to get through a morning of work first though!
very, very nice bike. Enjoy riding it later, guess it cost a few pennies to!
DIS - few 2p's and 5p's to 🙄
looks nice, do the red X0 stickers come off? I would remove them if it was me, red and green should never be seen and all that!!
The stickers will be sorted......they are annoying me to.....if only SRAM did XO stickers in white and lime green!!
Nice to see the pic. I ordered one with EA90 wheels earlier this week and was curious what it would look like.
First ride update - good two hour blast on the bike today and all I can say is the bike is awesome.
Accelerates like no other bike I have ridden, climbing is surprisingly brilliant for a FS 125mm. Agile and quick in the corners, Yes I did catch the pedals a few times but it wasn't the end of the world.
My first ride on an 'uppy-downy' seat post and the Reverb was brilliant can't believe I have gone soo long without one.
Finally, the Bronsons were more than capable, very grippy and predictable.
Overall I am well chuffed with the bike......as you can tell!
green eyed bike envy monster over here...
Accelerates like no other bike I have ridden,
Road bike? Hardtail? BMX? Never ridden any of them?
climbing is surprisingly brilliant for a FS 125mm.
Why, what were you expecting? For it to be shite? Come on, its a lightweight full suspension bike, its obviously going to be good.
Glad you enjoy the bike though!
Davidtaylforth.......sorry that I didn't state the obvious but it's unlike any other full suspension MTB I have ridden and I have not ridden every bike there is but from the bikes I have ridden it is my opinion that it accelerates like no other.
Of course my roadie and HT will out accelerate it!
This is what amazes me, again IMO, it amazes me how great FS climb when out of the saddle putting the hammer down. Again this is also my first lightweight FS frame......so YES it does amazes me.
And yes I love it!
Don't worry matt, he is STWs pet troll.
I am aware! 😆
Proper spot on bike that. I'd love one. Glad it lived up to expectations.
Hey Matt, how are you getting on with this bike now?, considering building one up and wondering what your longer term opinion is now having ridden it for a few months. It's a lovely looking thing, well done!
matt23-I think you mean amaze me.Bit low slung for my liking.Not comfortable for longer rides.
It looks great - lovely paint job. Better that your old Nomad?
