Made a fitting cable hanger myself, finished the build and took it out for a ride. 29 years ago I was lusting over these iconic bikes, now I finally know how they ride.
I was really surprised how agile and nimble they are. Very nervous too. We have some lower hills here (Flanders - region of the Tour of Landers) but no mountains and going offroad with this kind of bikes is just fun.
Brilliant in mud.
So much tyre clearance and your bodyweight is right over the rear wheel so you get great traction, loads of fun and very chuckable - short wheelbase & steep HT
