Gonna call it the Jaffa Cake (for more than just the colour scheme, thanks Jamie 😆 )

Certainly is an ugly beast, but as it’ll be used for bikepacking most of it shall be covered up.

Couple of bits to finish yet – Bar tape, once happy with set up/positioning of levers. Suspension post when funds allow, oh and front disc tabs still needs facing

(Yes I know about the rim/tyre logos. The rim stickers aren’t directly opposite the valve holes 😡 shall be de-sticketed soon, but let’s face it, that’s the least to worry about!)

Feast of needles?

i like it 8)

Enjoy the pain

Why are jaffa cakes not biscuits?… And did you know they put the chocolate on the underneath of chocolate hobnobs as they are dipped through a reservoir of molten chocolate… Many people eat them upside down with the chocolate facing up.

That looks jolly nice, I would be proud of that

I cannot for the life of me figure out what’s going on with those bars.

Otherwise, I think it’s really quite nice!

Excellent pointing/gravel distribution as well. Bit of sand between your slabs and you’ll be bang on.

9/10

Very nice. Too many gears. 🙂

Jones loop bars. And thank you for the high score *curtsies*

Was a ball ache trying to set them up!

*Googles*

Ahh, right you are. I must be getting old because I can see the appeal in them!

Is it a fat bike frame, the angle you took it from makes the clearance in the rear look huge! I actually like the colour too.

What no comments on the supply of spacers under the stem? 😉

Not a fat bike frame but plenty of clearance, it’s a fargo.

I will get a high rise Salsa stem at some point so will lose some spacers then

What a crock o shite.
It’s not even got any of that suspension stuff.

Tyres too skinny by at least 3″

And how long is that stem? 😀 🙂

110mm I think, was just from my spares box, again shall be changed once I’ve ridden it and get the right position sorted.

Could always go half fat

Looks like that saddle will break your arse in nicely…then again, it maybe is broken in already. 😉

I mean the saddle of course. Silly houns.

Looks like the perfect bike for HONC

You know fine well it’s broken in 8) the saddle is well used, the seller chucked it in, first brooks I’ve used, well comfy.

My Kinesis Pro6 is ready for HONC. Just need to shift this cold/chest infection

Looks like it might have been quite a nice bike before you got your hands on it

Get the brakes sorted then?

Wev’e got bricks like those.

, it’s a fargo.

Kinda funny looking….

Arghh! My eyes!

I’m feeling violent.

And how long is that stem?

Long.

Is it just me or from that angle I’m sure it looks like a BMX

Heh, yeah. Side on for the full horror

Sorry but that’s sick looking. It could do with a spell in intensive care or at least stop spraying fake tan on it.

That stem is waaahhaaaaay rong, does your Mother know what you are riding these days, sure she’d be ashamed.

To make it half decent you could go 29+ on it and be (almost) ahead of the crowd… 😆

You hold him down chunky and i’ll do the pounding.

No butter?

Cables are loooong as well. 😯

Sand. No butter.

Maybe swarfega if you put wax in your hair and look pretty for us.

I thought those bars should point slightly down….?

Cables are fine, need that length with them bars

Matt, just playing around with positions

Mmm sand

Needs to get mucky/muddy and stay that way!
