Hello!
Been lurking around here for a while, just signed up though so be gentle!
Just finished building my new bike after a year of collecting parts while on offer and searching for bargains.
Had its first outing at Swinley yesterday, blue and red, and I love it! I still need want new bars, stem, seatpost, pedals and brakes, currently this kit is from my old bike, but will have to wait for a bit.
Spec.

Grass could do with a trim, but I guess it grows quickly in the rainforest of Borneo 😉
Nice bike though. I’ve got the older Altitude version & love mine. Looks old school but can take on bigger full suss bikes if the mood takes you on the down hills. Excellent choice Sir !
Oh no, my first topic is turning the forum into “tropicalgardeningtrackworld”
Thanks for the comments though, on the bike and garden!
Bike is orange BTW, but they always look red in pictures!
