my new bike, originally uploaded by guybowden.
Here’s what the GLS man delivered today… Can’t wait to get out on it!
it is:
- Large Ano black Santa Cruz Heckler with a Fox DHX5.0 coil shock
- Rockshox Lyric 2 step airs
- Thompson post and stem
- Hope Pro2 hubs
- DT 5.1 rims
- And a WTB Devo saddle…
Now I need to attach my old bits to it and try it out.
Nice:)
isn’t that a road bike? thought you were a mountain biker?
your confused sister x
erm… no. its a mountain bike. not much of a cyclist are you?
Just the same as the heckler I’m bringing to have a holiday with u this summer.
The DHX coil shock makes for oh so sweet rear end travel - I love mine and have yet to fit some Magura Wontan forks ready for the trip to Morzine.
BTW - the swing arm is very wide around the seat tube, my legs rub on it and this drove me mad at 1st to the degree I was about to send it back. I just got used to it though and am very gald it didn’t go back.
Looking forward to meeting u and Sara.
Cheers
Ian
I did notice the swing arm yesterday - it is pretty wide - will have to stick something on it to stop the heal rub taking all the paint away… fully built up now as well:
Very nice Guy! That’ll be a beast for the summer. How does it ride? Have you taken it anywhere serious yet? I imagine it will be about 10/10 on the sick scale for Rochers de Naye.
Ah yes - she is a beauty
I think the forks are bedding in nicely now - it all seems a bit more “as one” if you see what I mean. I’ve clocked up about 4000m of decent on it since last Thursday - that’s sure to bed in the forks and rattle the loose bits up eh!?
That’s better, I can tell it’s a mountain bike now it’s got bigger tyres…!
