"They look like normal bikes with 26" wheels!"

Ahh yeah, I forget that this is actually a 29er and you're actually a descendant of a titan.

Looks great Pete!

Liking that a lot :0)

you're actually a descendant of a titan.

RIP, Uncle Bill :'-(

hahahaha

Outstanding Pete.

Picked it up from Talbot Towers today and rode back through the forest.

Fuuuuaaaaark that's a nice paintjob. What a sweet bike.

Hurrah!
Wasn't sure with the frame only pics, but the forks finish it off really nicely.

fuck yeeeeeeeeeeee.
can't wait to see this in person.

In a totally dull update, I don't think my hands agree with Ergon grips :-/

New hands time?

Hah totally legit update. What model ergons? And what specifically about the grips dont your hands agree with?

Iv got some gp1 biocork grips for my tourer, but even though i have decently large hands, i felt i wouldnt want to mtb with them. I like being able to close my hands all the way around the grips for rough stuff.

They're the GS1

I think the main problem is that the Ergons work to keep your wrist straight and my wrists don't agree with that, especially when mtb'ing, which often sees me drop my wrist when hitting a technical section of trail. I'm used to simply resting my hand on top, rather than 'gripping' the grip, unless I'm climbing out of the saddle, where, like yourself, I like to close my hands fully.

Anyway, the Ergons seem to be the only grips that I've found uncomfortable for years, so they're soon to be replaced with some ESI silicones.

Interesting. Yea cant go wrong with ESI.

I often run On-One half bob foam lockons. Dirt cheap, long lasting, and dont get super slippery in rain/ sweat.

Going to Bike Park Wales soon and didn't fancy rigid. Thought it was about time to fit the bouncy forks.

Boing!

The dedication to speed through omitting the front brake is admirable

Dirt jumper style
