Well, I decided to dip my toe into the MTB side of things again, god knows when I'll get time to ride it but the local woods are only a couple of minutes away & there's enough there to keep me occupied for an hour or so, so it'll give me an option once the weather properly turns. Has been looked after so generally in decent nick but up close has plenty of scratches / rub, "patina" I think they call it, or "what colour will I powder coat his thing?" as it'll end up being known...
Small frame so forks are set to a rather unfashionable 80mm, I'll give them a quick service & change the travel spacers to give 100/120mm which will as a bonus will give me a slightly more fashionable head angle too - original tyres were pretty done so fired a cheap set of 2.35" numbers on there for a bit of added squish, pretty pleased with it so far but I can already see me changing the bar/stem/post & powder coating the frame, thus defeating the purpose of buying a cheap hack MTB but hey ho...
