Just been out for a night ride and as per title I’ve snapped it.
Gutted because it was just a superb bike.
I’ve done loads of technical ish xc riding locally around Leeds and also taken it all over to the lakes, peaks, Scotland etc. Always really fun to ride and very capable given how little travel it had. It’s taken everything in its stride…up until tonight that is.
So… What next?
I think the short ish travel but long and slack format really suits me for the type of riding I do on it. I wouldn’t be disappointed just finding another second hand one TBH.
But what else is out there?
Ideally I’d be looking for maybe slightly more travel (but not at the expense of agility / fun) and maybe a bit lighter (but not at the expense of durability – I’m hard on bikes as we’ve seen tonight).
Would consider all options from a second hand frame from the last few years rught up to a full new bike.
Any suggestions?
