Thought I'd give the hardcore hardtail thing a go over the winter, to save the bearings and bushes on my Blur.

Bought an MmmBop in the summer, but broke it first time out at Lake Garda!

So, all the parts have now been transplanted onto a Cotic BFe frame.

Only done a couple of laps of the house so far, but should get out on it for the first proper ride this weekend.

The Joplin is only temporary.

And yes, I know the snow needs clearing!

Went over the bars, bike followed me and I landed on it. Bent the top tube on a large rock.

It was the second one I'd damaged; the first was slightly less terminal!

Very nice. I'm in process of building same colour one up myself now too.

Might have been finished already if it hadn't been so cold in the garage lately.
