Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

Mtbs were shit back then

Warner seems overly mellow and chill there. Probably stoned.

lolwut

Holy shit am I on acid?

Hmmm....just to think, the world's got progressively worse since the turn of the century but mountain bike geometry and technology has exponentially improved.

Correlation, causation? Post bog ergo proper sock?

If the general state of affairs improves globally will we go back to 26" rigid bikes with shaky handling, short wheelbases and mullets?

Illuminati confirmed

mullets?

Sounds like my new Acid build.

am I on acid?

I've long suspected this

This is the real aim of the globalist elites. Praise Lucifer.

I saw that and thought it had been built by a surrealist. It looks like it's melting.

How's it ride though?

Like a giant bmx, with better handling, if that makes sense. Seat is only useful when stopped...

Will upload a photo tomorrow now that it’s single speed. So much lighter and no-fuss. Had to get some other v-brake bosses for the forks, hopefully they will have a shallow enough shoulder to mount the front brake properly.

Anyway yea, standing room only, but way fun so far.

Cool. What sort of riding will you do with it?

Rumbled, give this man a Jeffsy!

To the shops and back, maybe the school run

Nothing exciting yet, as I only got into mtb a couple months back with that used Marin Pine Valley. When that snapped I was using the freebie bmx for a few weeks until that turned out to have a totalled bb shell. Originally it was get a mtb to get out of traffic and do a bit of XC and trails, but I found myself wanting to jump over everything.

Plan is to hit a local (technical) trail when the weather suits.

I appreciate the bike is really a 4X/DH/stunts kinda thing, but even bombing along to grab my coffee or run errands, it is super nippy and fun.

Plus, argument is standing for hours each day I should be improving my core strength.

Yup. Ha. This is my NJS.

Nippy as hell

It's a mullet bike. Party in the back (DH rear triangle/seat pitch) old skool XC business up front.

I'm totally discombobulated every time I see that way jaunty don't give a fuck saddle pointing to the sky. :D

“Keep yer chin up fella” saddle angle.

Havnae done it yet but it literally just needs a rotor swapping and a gear cable installing
