So this bike had its first proper shakedown ride(s) at this year brother in the wild. And I fucking loved it! It turned quite a few heads and got a lot of
streettrail cred.I rode the very easy Downslink on my 650B Raleigh a few weekends back as the first full day on a bike since my accident in May. And while the Raleigh was perfectly capable of handling it all my still rather weak hands very extremely tired in the end from the cantilever brakes.
Having this pale violet beast enabled me to have a lot of fun at BITW. It took me a few miles and a few sketchy moments to get back into some more technical off road riding. It will still take some time until I can fully send it and be back at the level I was before the accident but I am so happy to be back on bikes.
Needless to say @Tijmen s fullframe bag did an amazing job at carrying food, tools, layer, swim gear, first aid kit etc. It's extremely spacey and well organized. I can only recommend Tijmens services.
TLDR:
Bike rocks!
Fullframe bag rocks!
Most comfortable ride post broken wrists!
Here have some pictures:
